Connection to MySQL from .NET using SSH.NET Library
Issue:
An ASP.NET/C# web page is attempting to query a MySQL database on a remote server over an SSH connection using the Renci.SshNet and mysql-connector-net libraries. However, the code is not retrieving any data from the database.
Code Snippet:
The C# code provided attempts to establish an SSH connection, forward a port, and then connect to the MySQL database. However, it fails to retrieve any data from the database.
<code class="csharp">using(var client = new SshClient("ssh server id", "sshuser", "sshpassword")) // establishing ssh connection to server where MySql is hosted { client.Connect(); if (client.IsConnected) { var portForwarded = new ForwardedPortLocal("127.0.0.1", 3306, "127.0.0.1", 3306); client.AddForwardedPort(portForwarded); portForwarded.Start(); using (MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection("SERVER=127.0.0.1;PORT=3306;UID=someuser;PASSWORD=somepass;DATABASE=Dbname")) { using (MySqlCommand com = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM cities", con)) { com.CommandType = CommandType.CommandText; DataSet ds = new DataSet(); MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter(com); da.Fill(ds); foreach (DataRow drow in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { Console.WriteLine("From MySql: " + drow[1].ToString()); } } } client.Disconnect(); } else { Console.WriteLine("Client cannot be reached..."); } }</code>
Solution:
To fix the issue, the following modifications can be made to the code:
MySqlConnectionStringBuilder connBuilder = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder(); connBuilder.AllowBatch = true; connBuilder.Server = "portal.RemoteServer.edu"; connBuilder.Port = 3306; connBuilder.UserID = "RemoteServerUsername"; connBuilder.Password = "RemoteServerPassword"; connBuilder.Database = "DatabaseName";
Modified Code:
<code class="csharp">using(var client = new SshClient("portal.RemoteServer.edu", "RemoteServerUsername", "RemoteServerPassword")) // establishing ssh connection to server where MySql is hosted { client.Connect(); if (client.IsConnected) { var portForwarded = new ForwardedPortLocal("127.0.0.1", 3306, "127.0.0.1", 3306); client.AddForwardedPort(portForwarded); portForwarded.Start(); using (MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(connBuilder.ConnectionString)) { using (MySqlCommand com = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Clients", con)) { com.CommandType = CommandType.CommandText; DataSet ds = new DataSet(); MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter(com); da.Fill(ds); foreach (DataRow drow in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { Console.WriteLine("From MySql: " + drow[1].ToString()); } } } client.Disconnect(); } else { Console.WriteLine("Client cannot be reached..."); } }</code>
