    Hi Hari,

     

    Am not sure this would work with mysql. You also get your connection string from your web.config when you specified during Installation of your Umbraco Instance where your db will be.

    Something like if am not wrong.

    <add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="server=dev2;database=umbraco_iorim;user id=sql_eservices;password=slash!0" />

    Hari am not sure what Provider name mysql needs to make the connection with your db. By default when you create a Prevalue Source and Choose SQl Database, it will automatically give you your Provider like this

    Provider=SQLNCLI10;Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername; Pwd=myPassword;

    and you only have to change the Value of the Server, Database, Uid, Pwd according to your web.config and specify your Table Name, Key Column, Value Column as per your db.

    Hi,

    Think you'll first need a MySQL OLE DB Provider and based on that provider you can then specify the connection string
