[Mono-dev] Trying figure out EF6

[Daniel Lo Nigro]

Entity Framework uses the standard ADO.NET providers, so most
ADO.NETproviders should work with it. This includes the MySQL one,
which comes
with Ubuntu and Debian in the "libmysql6.4-cli" package, or you can
download it from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/. Just
reference MySQL.Data.dll and set up your App.config or Web.config
correctly. Here is an example config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL"
type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
<connectionStrings>
  <add name="BloggingContext"
       connectionString="Server=localhost; Database=dotnettest; Uid=root;
Pwd=password"
       providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>


Obviously, change all the placeholder values (context name, server name,
database, username, password). You will need to use a very recent version
of Mono (3.0.1 or trunk) due to bug
7396<https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7936>
.
