You can use the MySQL connector from the CData Sync application to move data from any supported source to the MySQL destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Destinations tab and locate the MySQL row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the MySQL connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.
