Connecting to a MYSQL DB over a ssh tunnel

UserBird

Hello,

I've never been very good with networking issues. I'm struggling with trying to replicate this mysql workbench connection in DSS as a 'new connection' so I can use the tables directly in a workflow even if they are altered 'at the source'. (The screenshot hides the IPs and usernames for obvious security reasons)

Hi,

DSS does not have the feature to connect to MySQL over a SSH connection builtin. You can replicate this by manually open a SSH tunnel besides DSS (with ssh -L 3307:10.100.yy.yy:3307 10.100.xx.xx), but you'll need to keep this SSH shell open each time you want to use the MySQL database in DSS

Alrigh'tyour solution worked fine thx !

For anyone having the same issue (with the same evident lack of expertise in network routing)

ssh -L 3307:10.100.yy.yy:3307 A_SSH_USERNAME@10.100.xx.xx will bind the connection to the database as localhost:3307 (so that's what you will enter in the connection menu of DSS ) .

If you are like me living in central europe ,you might encounter this issue also (I know I did) : http://answers.dataiku.com/406/mysql-timezone-error
