I am trying to connect to a remote MySQL database using DBeaver 3.6.3. But when I try to add the server as a new connection, I need to select a connection type. I select MySQL and as soon as I click on next, it gives me this error
I have tried restoring driver settings to default - no effect. I have tried removing the metadata folder in Users and restarting - no effect
Have you tried to reinstall the driver? I've tried DBeaver on Linux, mysql connector v 5.1.39 worked fine (mysql 5.6.15).
I had issues a month ago with dbeaver and connecting to a mssql db, updating dbeaver to the v4.0.0 fixed it, maybe you could try that too? You'll have to build it though, if this doesn't scare you: https://github.com/serge-rider/dbeaver
