C.M. 16 Posted November 17, 2018 Looks like you're using outdated MySQL connector in your DBeaver while trying to connect to MySQL 8.0.4 or higher. Just update your mysql-connector-java in DBeaver. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perpetual Newbie 1 Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Thank you! Indeed! I'm really tried to connect to MySQL version higher than 8.0.4 and my mysql-connector-java in DBeaver was outdated. I installed a new version of mysql-connector-java and it worked! Many thanks for your help! 🙏🙏🙏 Edited December 4, 2019 by Perpetual Newbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
