VBA code to fetch data from Mysql DB in Mac Excel 2011


I was using ADODB code in Windows to fetch data from Mysql Database and it was working fine. However, I can not seem to get my Excel workbook (using ADODB) to work with Excel Mac 2011. After a lot of googling, I found an ODBC connector from Actual tech and I was able to fetch three rows using Microsoft Query. But I want this to be done using VBA code but have been unable to do so. Has anyone gotten this to work? If yes, can you please provide me with a sample code. Thanks in Advance !!

P.S: I know there is a similar existing question but the link provided in the answer is no longer working. hence, I have asked a new question

Also, If anyone needs the link to do it through Microsoft Query, here is the link: http://www.agentjim.com/MVP/Excel/2011Relational7Queries.html

Here is the code I use in Windows:

  Sub getMysqlDBdata()

  Dim Cn As Object
  Dim sqlQa as string
  dim temparray1 as variant

  Source = "MySQL"

  mysql_driver = "MySQL ODBC 5.2 ANSI Driver"

  sqlQa = "select * from test.TestTable;"

  Set Cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
  Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
  Cn.Open "Driver={" & "MySQL ODBC 5.2 ANSI Driver" & "};Server=" & "127.0.01" & ";Database= test;UID=" & "root" & ";PWD=" & "12345"

  rs.Open sqlQa, Cn, adOpenStatic
  temparray1 = rs.GetRows()
  rs.Close

  Set rs = Nothing



  End Sub

Solution

  • After a lot of googling I came across this sample code provided by Bryan Duchesne in MSDN:

    Sub TestSqlConnection()
    Dim sqlstring As String
    Dim connstring As String
    Dim sLogin As String
    sLogon = "Uid=myUserID;Pwd=myPassowrkd;"
    sqlstring = "select * from zitemloc"
    connstring = "ODBC;DSN=myDSN;" & sLogon
    ActiveSheet.Range("B1:t2000").Clear
    
    Dim qt As QueryTable
    For Each qt In ActiveSheet.QueryTables
        qt.Delete
    Next qt
    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=connstring, Destination:=Range("B1"),   Sql:=sqlstring)
        .BackgroundQuery = False
        .Refresh
    End With
    
    Set qt = ActiveSheet.QueryTables(1)
    Dim rowCount As Integer
    rowCount = UBound(qt.ResultRange.Value)
    
    
    Dim ix, iy As Integer
    Dim data As Variant
    Dim colCount As Integer
    colCount = qt.ResultRange.Columns.Count
    
    For ix = 1 To rowCount
        If Not IsArray(data) Then
                ReDim data(rowCount - 1, colCount - 1)
        End If
        For iy = 1 To qt.ResultRange.Columns.Count
            data(ix - 1, iy - 1) = qt.ResultRange.Value2(ix, iy)
    
        Next
    Next
    End Sub
