Linked Server Provider

Hi All
I am trying to create a linked server to mysql and it is not listed in the
Linked Server providers in SQL Server 2005. How do I go about adding a
provider that is not in the existing provider list?
Any ideas on how to either add the provider or create the linked server
would be appreciated.
Thanks
- DavidYou need to obtain the needed drivers or providers for MySQL
and install it on the SQL Server box. There are third party
drivers but you can download free drivers from:
