macOS (BigSur) - Installing MySQL ODBC driver for connecting a mysql db to Tableau

871 views Asked by At

I want to install the mysql driver in macOS for connecting the mysql db with Tableau, while I downloaded the .dmg file for this driver and as a dependency I downloaded the iODBC administrator also.

After that I am following this site - https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-odbc/en/connector-odbc-installation-binary-macos.html

at the step for installation -

myodbc-installer -a -d -n "MySQL ODBC 8.0 Driver" -t "Driver=/usr/local/lib/libmyodbc8w.so"

it throws up an error and print this -

arpitnigam@Arpits-MacBook-Pro ~ % myodbc-installer -a -d -n "MySQL ODBC 8.0 Driver" -t "Driver=/usr/local/lib/libmyodbc8w.so" dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libssl.1.1.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/myodbc-installer Reason: no suitable image found. Did find: /usr/local/bin/../lib/libssl.1.1.dylib: code signature in (/usr/local/bin/../lib/libssl.1.1.dylib) not valid for use in process using Library Validation: library load disallowed by system policy /usr/local/bin/../lib/libssl.1.1.dylib: stat() failed with errno=1 /usr/local/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib: code signature in (/usr/local/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib) not valid for use in process using Library Validation: library load disallowed by system policy zsh: abort myodbc-installer -a -d -n "MySQL ODBC 8.0 Driver" -t

In short the code signature for this libssl.1.1.dylib is not recognized by the system as it says.

I have downloaded this driver from - https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/

Please help me find the solution.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce your error, but after doing some research, people seem to have success solving similar issues by using openssl. This here seems like a pretty good place to start.

That being said, I also found this recent post in the Tableau forum. Might be that there is an underlying problem with Tableau-DB connections on MacOS.
