This guide first describes the Client side of TS DataServer for MySQL, which is provided with every TS Environment installation. It then provides specific information for accessing MySQL.

Your applications may require special privileges to access the database. You should consider the following issues:

To run TS DataServer for MySQL your system must meet the following requirements:
