[Mono-devel-list] Looking for MySQL help -- repost of no subject message

[dkopko at stevens-tech.edu]

Which versions of MySQL does ByteFX support exactly?  And are there any set of
tests, besides trying to run such a code example, that would indicate if the
MySQL server is capable of being connected to via the proper communications
method/protocol?

Thanks,

Daniel Kopko
