Please help me.
Hi @Gelos
PowerApps has a connector to MySQL and its premium.
Please let me know if any issues

The only other comment I would add is that the MySQL connector works only with on-premise MySQL databases. Therefore, you would also need to install the on premise gateway.
There are more details about this here:https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/MySQL-connector-connectivity/idi-p/133968
Hi thank you for your replay. But my database is in server so I don't know how to connect.
Yes. But I installed gateway but it only works if the database is in my system. but MySql database is in server system so I want to connect it. Please help me
Yes, we can connect server as well. We need to install the On-premises Data Gateway on the Server where your MySQL exists. When you try to connect, Select the name for the server from the dropdown.
But how to install On-premises Data Gateway on the server. I access server using cPanel. And I have another doubt can I access another Desktop database from my system powerapps
ok I understand desktop problem. But now I want to connect server which is in online. I access MySQL database from server using cPanel so I want to know how to install gateway there.
From my knowledge, "On-premises data gateway" has installer (exe) so you need to have access to view the UI to install. Here is the Microsoft article for data gateway installation.
Ok thankyou for your replay
