MySQL Required Components

The following describes the components needed to install and run MySQL as the Code Insight database:

• The community edition of MySQL 8.0 (also known as MySQL 5.8) or MySQL 5.7, downloaded from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql.

  note

  Code Insight does not support the Docker version of My SQL. (It supports the native version only.)

• The appropriate JDBC driver file that enables Code Insight to connect to the your MySQL database version. Download this driver from the specified site and store it in a location accessible to the Code Insight installer.

  • For MySQL 8.0, use the latest version of mysql-connector-java-8.0.x.jar. Download this file from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/.

  • For MySQL 5.7, use mysql-connector-java-5.1.x-bin.jar. Download this file from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html.

  During installation, the installer will copy the downloaded driver to the tomcat/lib folder, where it must reside for use by Code Insight.

• An environment that can support the required size settings listed in Required MySQL Database Settings.

• A database instance configured with the settings described in Required MySQL Database Settings and Binary Logging Option for MySQL.
