title: Power BI not connecting to MySQL
body: <p>I am trying to connect Power Bi (Desktop version) with my online amazon mysql database. It demands for following information once you try to establish connection</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Server: server ip</p>
    
    <p>Database: database name </p>
    
    <p>Username: mysql username</p>
    
    <p>Password: mysql password</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>First time I received a bit lengthy error, which was because of unavailability of mysql-connector-net-6.6.5.msi. So I followed this link to solve the issue</p>

  <p>Whats wrong? One of my mates has successfully connected using the same credentials that I am using. </p>
