And now I can go back to my gateway web page and fix my MySQL JDBC driver.

So that ZIP file I just downloaded contains the necessary files. And I'll say No thanks, just start my download. And then I'll go ahead and download the second one here, which is the ZIP archive. So on here, I just need to select an operating system and here I select platform independent. This will take me to MySQL's official website and to the download page for our JDBC driver. And I can get that file by finding MySQL in this table here, and then clicking on this download link.
Now ultimately, all that I have to do to fix the problem I'm encountering is install the necessary JDBC driver file on the gateway. And if I go to that browser tab, it's actually a user manual page on JDBC drivers and translators, which helps to explain why we're running into trouble here. We can see that the banner is directing me to a help page that includes information about installing the necessary files. Still I'll need to fix this error before moving on. Since we only have this limitation on fresh installs of Ignition 8.0 and above. However, if you're running Ignition seven nine or below, or you've upgraded to Ignition 8 rather than using a fresh Ignition eight install, you likely won't encounter this problem. The reason I'm seeing this error here is because as of Ignition 8.0 we cannot ship Ignition with the MySQL JDBC driver pre-installed. Now you may or may not be seeing this error when you try this out on your own system. I'm getting a banner up at the top here that says the MySQL driver is missing required files. However, I am going to run into a bit of trouble here when I click Next. And the one that I'd like to use is MySQL because I'm going to be connecting to a MySQL database. In layman's terms, a JDBC driver is basically a bridge between Ignition's Java based platform and a database server. And once I click that, I'll be given a couple of different connection types to choose from based on the JDBC drivers I have installed on this system. So to change that, I can click Create new Database Connection here. Now currently, I don't have any database connections at all. So to connect to MySQL, I'm in the config section of my gateway web page and from here in the sidebar, I'll go ahead and find databases and then go to connections.
MySQL is one of the more popular database offerings, and one that Ignition can connect to without too much trouble.
