MySQL Query

Activity Description

Executes a SELECT query on a MySQL database and returns a table.

Output

A ResultSet.

note

To use MySQL activities, you need to install MySQL Connector Net 6.4.4 on the machine where the Resolve Actions Express executor is installed.

After installing the MySQL Connector, edit the activity's configuration by adding the path to the connector as follows:

1. In the Resolve database, select the dbo.TBL_ActivitiesSource table.
2. In the SourceCode column, search for MySQLQuery.
3. In the Assembly segment of the activity's XML code, update the path to the connector.

Settings

• Query – The query's text (e.g., Select * from hosts).
• Connection String – Specifies the required connection string in order to connect the database.
  Example: Server=SRV01;Database=myDataBase;
• User Authentication – Determines whether a user's authentication credentials are required to execute the query (if the credentials are not specified in the clear text connection string).
• User Name – A MySQL user authorized to execute the query (e.g., sa).
• Password – The user's password.

note

To avoid translation of %TEXT% (in case TEXT is not a variable name), add @ before the percentage character. For example: Select * From TableName Where ColumnName LIKE '@%TEXT%'.

note

To use the word variable within a query, use the following convention: @%variable% (else it is referred to as a system variable).
