Datasources - External Database MySQL as Datasource
Hello!
I have Ready!API installed in a server which I want it to connect to an external MySQL database that I would use as datasource. So when I try to make a connection it fails even if the connection string is fine. I'm attaching a screenshot of the error but also I would like to confirm is datasource can be used only from local computer (where Ready!API is installed).
I tested a connection with SQLdeveloper from this server and it works.
I looked on documentation and I found the following:
Databases
Using a database as the data source requires that the appropriate database provider be installed on the LoadComplete computer. To learn more about database providers and the syntax of database connection strings, visit http://connectionstrings.com.
Please help me to confirm if this is why my connection is failing. I'll appreciate your help.

Just to be sure, did you import the driver to the bin/ext folder? Ready! API does not come with all drivers necessary from the box, so you probably need to put it in.
You can find a bit more info in the documentation section on DDT.
