Linking OrCAD CIS to MySQL -> Only 1 component per Table Shown?

JFuoco

Here's my setup:

  1. Ubuntu server 16.04 running mySQL database (outside network)
    1. I imported the example BenchAccess database to get started -- I'll eventually add my own components, but thats irrelevant for now.
  2. OrCAD 17.2 running inside a Windows 7 VM on my MacBook Pro inside Virtualbox.
  3. I SSH Port Forward the Ubuntu Server MySQL port to my MacBook Pro.
  4. I add the connection in windows ODBC connection manager using MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver. I am connecting to my MacBook in this scenario.
  5. I import the connection into OrCAD using the CIS configuration file. All goes ok, connection is made.

But then when I try to place a database part, I only see 1 entry for each table...

For example, on MySQL here are all some of the capacitors:

Where as in Place Database Part, here's what I get:

Only the 1 entry. Same holds true for each table.

For sanity, I also accessed the table through MySQL Workbench in my VM. All rows are shown. However it should be noted I accessed MySQL through MySQL's own "Connect to Database" tool instead of using Windows' Data Sources.

Hoping you guys can provide some insight?

    Ok, so as I was posting this I figured out the solution but figured it may be useful to someone in the future.

    UPDATE YOUR DRIVERS. I reconnected using the MySQL ODBC 8.0 ANSI Driver and all is well.
