MySQL : Connections in SQL Developer
Downloads
- SQL Developer
- JDBC Driver for MySQL (Connector/J) (platform independent version)
Setup
Download the latest "JDBC Driver for MySQL (Connector/J)" from here. Click the "Download" link next to the "JDBC Driver for MySQL (Connector/J)", then select the platform independent version and download the zip file.
Unzip the connector. The resulting directory contains a "mysql-connector-java-8.0.23.jar" file.
Open SQL Developer and navigate to "Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Driver".
Click the "Add Entry..." button and highlight the "mysql-connector-java-8.0.23.jar" file and click the "Select" button.
Click the "OK" button to exit the "Preferences" dialog.
When you create a new connection, the "Database Type" dropdown includes a MySQL option. On older versions of SQL Developer this used to appear as a tab. Enter the connection details and test the connection.
