You’ll need to install the MySQL JDBC Driver. You can find instructions and a link to the driver here: https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/JDBC+Drivers+and+Translators

We used to distribute the MySQL JDBC driver with Ignition but we’ve stopped doing so as of Ignition 8 because it’s not allowed by the license.

I am having the same issue. The jar download link takes you to the MySQL installer. I installed the connector J via the installer. Ignition still gives me the error that the driver is missing.

After installing Connector/J via the installer, you must point Ignition to the actual .jar file containing the MySQL driver code. On the install I just did, the path was:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\Connector J 8.0\mysql-connector-java-8.0.25.jar"
You need to update the driver to use that .jar file following the instruction further down the page:
