On older versions of SQL Developer this used to appear as a tab. When you create a new connection, the "Database Type" dropdown includes a MySQL option.

Open SQL Developer and navigate to "Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Driver".Ĭlick the "Add Entry." button and highlight the "mysql-connector-java-8.0.23.jar" file and click the "Select" button.Ĭlick the "OK" button to exit the "Preferences" dialog. The resulting directory contains a "mysql-connector-java-8.0.23.jar" file. Click the "Download" link next to the "JDBC Driver for MySQL (Connector/J)", then select the platform independent version and download the zip file.
