As mentioned in the documentation for the Database Replication Module:

Support for SQL Server 2005/2008, Oracle, PostgreSQL and Informix databases

I believe we don't have anything in the AppStore yet to connect with MySQL (new entries are always welcome!)

MySql can easily be supported however the only libraries that I know of are payed or distributed under the gpl licence.

So if you can find a mysql jdbc jar file including the mysql driver it's a relatively small change to the module to start supporting this library.

If somebody knows about a free mysql jar/driver just let some at mendix know and we'll might be able to start supporting mysql as well.
