Reinstall the Snowflake Connector for MySQL¶

Note

The Snowflake Connector for MySQL is subject to the Connector Terms.

Important

Thank you for your interest in the Snowflake Connector for MySQL. We’re now focused on a next-generation solution that will offer a significantly improved experience; therefore, moving this connector to the general availability status is currently not on our product roadmap. You may continue to use this connector as preview feature, but please note that support for future bug fixes and improvements are not guaranteed. The new solution is available as Openflow Connector for MySQL and includes better performance, customizability, and enhanced deployment options.

To upgrade or reinstall the Snowflake Connector for MySQL, do the following:

  1. Drop the connector database using Snowsight. You will find instructions here.

  2. Install and run the new version as described in Snowflake Connector for MySQL installation and configuration tasks.

    Note

    The reinstalled connector will need to be set up again and will pull all the data from the source system like a fresh installation. Destination database can be reused, but data in existing tables will be reloaded instead of updated.
