how to integrate Odoo with MySQL

Question

I am trying to integrate Odoo(openerp-8) with MySQL on ubuntu server, to get the database access instead of postgresql.

But I am unable to figure out the correct way to do that.

I tried this link, but it didn't help me

Any better ideas on configuring odoo with MySQL?

Answer 1

In Odoo apps Store One Free module Available name is "External Database Sources"

This module allows you to define connections to foreign databases using ODBC, Oracle Client or SQLAlchemy.

Database sources can be configured in Settings > Configuration -> Data sources.

Depending on the database, you need:

• to install unixodbc and python-pyodbc packages to use ODBC connections.
• to install FreeTDS driver (tdsodbc package) and configure it through ODBC to connect to Microsoft SQL Server.
• to install and configure Oracle Instant Client and cx_Oracle python library to connect to Oracle.
