Is it possible to use SQL Passthru to query against a MySQL database? I don't see MySQL appearing as an option but was led to believe that you may be able to specify MySQL as an option for the engine directly in the FOCUS code. Looking for clarification if this is possible or not.

The WebFOCUS server and client are on Linux so it is using the JDBC connector for MySQL.

Are you creating this through DevStudio? Just wondering what you meant by "not appearing as an option." When I use the "ENGINE" tool in DS, MySQL does not show up on the list. However, the syntax appears to be

SQL SQLMYSQL
Select...

which can be coded into the procedure to enable passthru for MySQL - assuming the JDBC driver had been installed and correctly configured for your WF server (or local server in the case of DS)

I was able to get this working using MySQL by initially selecting say SQL400 and then editing the text to use SQLMYSQL instead. Had to tweek my SQL statement a bit but I was able to get this to run.
