I don't think you can. I think the mysql connectors only available on the paid professional version. Data sources for the public version from the website are below:

Data Sources

  • Google Sheets
  • Microsoft Excel 2007 or later
  • Microsoft Windows Azure Marketplace DataMarket
  • OData
  • Text files － comma separated value (.csv) files
  • Statistical Files; SAS (.sas7bdat), SPSS (.sav), and R (*.rdata, *.rda)
  • Web Data Connectors
