    You need to use a gateway. The gateway needs to have the MySQL driver installed.  My recommendation is to use 8.0.28 - all the newer ones have massive problems.

    @lbendlin what do you mean with "The gateway needs to have the MySQL driver installed"?

    How to check the drivers installed in the on-prem data gateway?

    Use RDP to log into the gateway machine, and check if the drivers are installed

    I've checked and it's installed.

    Nevertheless I'm facing the same issue:

    I'm using Azure Logic Apps.

    No issues on Azure Data Factory. The connection is established and I can read data without problem, but I need to write on a particular table and only Logic Apps have the right connector

    You are not using 8.0.28.  Can't help you unless you use 8.0.28

    8.0.28 is the right version. After a reboot it started working properly. Thanks!!
