Bug #116995	Not able to create ODBC connection
Submitted:	17 Dec 7:48	Modified:	18 Dec 11:13
Reporter:	Manjunath Pai G	Email Updates:
Status:	Need Feedback	Impact on me:	None
Category:	Connector / ODBC	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	9.1.0	OS:	Windows
Assigned to:	Rafal Somla	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Not a security vulnerability, but we are not able to create any new odbc DSN connection

How to repeat:
1) Open ODBC64 datasources in windows
2) Select "System DSN" and choose to create new MySQL ODBC connection
3) Provide all the connection details and hit "Test Connection"
4) After clicking on Test connection, the window just closes, but the DSN would be created without connection details.  If we provide details again and try Testing the connection, the window closes again.

Suggested fix:
Need help to fix this bug asap.

Hi Mr. Pai G,

Thank you for your bug report.

However, let us inform you that this is a forum for the reports with a fully repeatable test cases. In your case, a test case should consist of the very detailed description of how have you tried to establish the connection. 

We also require all the details on the version and release of your OS, we need versions and release of the Windows ODBC library and other info.

We also need to know all versions of the client-side software.

Last, but not least, we need every single details of the configuration of your ODBC connection.

Without a full test case, we can not proceed further .......

Can't repeat.

Hi,

There is yet another thing that you need to do , so that we can check whether this is a bug or not.

Please, run ODBC in the debug mode and upload to this bug the error log.

Thanks in advance.

Recently we became aware of the ODBC Driver 9.1 crashes caused by runtime libraries inside Visual C++ Redistributable package 2015-2022 version 14.36. Updating the VC++ package to version 14.40 or newer should resolve the problem with the crashes. Make sure that the redistributable package for x64 architecture is updated.
Please try this and let us know if it worked.

HI Mr. Pai G,

We truly need your feedback on the last directions provided by our C/ODBC team.
