ODBC should be sufficient. I assume you have downloaded MyODBC and performed the ODBC admin stuff. One thing, the variable names in MySQL are case-insensitive, but the tables are not. Here is a sample that uses CONTENTS to list the tables:

libname WIN_cnct odbc user=JohnDoe password='John*D11' datasrc=MySQL_DB1 ;

proc contents data=WIN_cnct._ALL_ nods ; run; title "Data From MySQL Database"; proc print data=WIN_cnct.Contig ; run; proc print data=WIN_cnct.Sequences ;run;
