It would be very useful if you could add ssh tunneling functionality. Hi,

I've downloaded the .net connector but still having trouble. It's a case of having to try several possible options in terms of URL of the database server. This is a host-based problem (beyond the lack of example code somewhere), and once I decipher it, I'll blog about it. I should point out that I had NO trouble accessing a .CSV file.

I tried with Excel, CSV and MS Access database options. Since My intention was to change the data from the Map as was suggested being possible..but I could not do that...I never got the refresh icon to my data in map...couldn't find any documentation which suggested I followed a wrong way.. Had a case opened ..but yet to hear.. Mindjet Case # 84010 Created Mahesh Hey Michael,

I'll check it out and will hopefully be writing about it soon. Thanks also for the update on the API docs. I'm really looking forward to testing some custom map parts, to push the envelope of what MM 8 can do. Michael, thanks so much for looking into the mySQL issue, and for the quick response.

To able to connect to any MySQL Server you need to install the MySQL Connector for .Net. The latest version of the Provider can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.2.html. Hope this helps, let us know the results! Michael Raj,

I've initiated the internal conversations but want to make sure that they're tracked through closure. Please look out for a contact from Mindjet. Regarding the new web services map parts, the documentation hasn't been published yet. I'll let you know when they are complete. In fact, I'll post an announcement in our blog when I receive a copy of it. Michael Raj,

I'm a diehard MindManager evangelist. I consider the absolutely most powerful productivity tool I've ever used, especially MM 8. I'm itching to try the database connectivity and produce a bunch of screencasts. So thank you for passing my query around. While we're on this, I've searched high and low and simply cannot find any documentation on how to use your MM 8 Map Parts/ Web Services API. I want to create a custom Yahoo Pipes map part. At present, I can only pull the RSS feed of a Pipe into MM. I want to be able to supply input parameters, so I need to build a custom web services map part. Thanks, Michael!

I'm no longer programming so my MySql skills aren't as sharp as yours. I'm going to forward this thread around to see if we can get you some answers. Btw, I like your blog! Michael Hi Raj,

I tried linking last night to MySql databases on two of my blogs but with no luck. One requires a host list because the database is on its own server, so I added my PC's IP address. The other has the database native to the web server. Neither pulls up a list of databases to select from, and searching through the MindJet online docs and the forum brought me no answers.
