Connecting to a fairly old version of mysql from Tableau

I had to connect to a MySQL instance to do some very quick reporting. But after installing the latest MySQL drivers, Tableau threw an error with this:


connection using old (pre-4.1.1) authentication protocol refused


The error mentioned 3.51.0 as some version number. Lo and behold that’s a driver version when you go to download MySQL drivers. I downloaded and installed 3.51.30 drivers and the connection was happy.


Drivers are here (Tableau Drivers page links here):
