title: Portable remote connection sucking data from MySQL to Excel
body: <p>Are there any alternatives for Excel users to suck data from MySQL through remote connection without bothering to establish ODBC connection in control panel nor downloading MySQL extensions nor doing anything on user side? </p>
  
  <p>Are there any connectors on MySQL side which would turn data into format readable for Excel? I am looking for dynamic solutions - reading from data base. I am not looking for static solutions like export to csv and import to Excel. Solutions done in any programming language like Python are acceptable. </p>
  
  <p>This ADO connection looked promising for me however still extra work on user side is required at start up: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13558921/how-can-vba-connect-to-mysql-database-in-excel">How can VBA connect to MySQL database in Excel?</a></p>
  
  <p>I would like to make a portable Excel file with macro that will work on any computer, in any case. </p>
