Select and load data from a MySQL Enterprise Edition database

Once you have created a connection to a MySQL Enterprise Edition database, you can select data and load it into a Qlik Sense app or a QlikView document. In Qlik Sense, you load data through the Add data dialog or the Data load editor.

Information noteThe SELECT statement does not include a WHERE clause, but one can be added in the Data load editor after the script built automatically in the script panel is inserted there. The SELECT statement for the MySQL Enterprise Edition Connector supports the addition of WHERE clause.
