[Mono-list] MySQL

[Daniel Morgan]

This is what you are looking for:

http://www.mysql.com/articles/dotnet/

This article was written by MySQL developer detailing what options a person
has to access a MySQL database using the .NET Framework.  It is very
thorough.  It doesn't mention the MySQL provider in Mono.

Mono has a MySQL provider located in mcs/class/Mono.Data.MySql and uses the
MySQL native client library.  It works on Windows and Linux.  It is missing
many features; however, I am actively working on this and open to any
comments or criticism about it.

The MySQL ODBC works great on Windows with .NET; it also works good with
Mono's ODBC provider at mcs/class/System.Data/System.Data.Odbc.

ADO.NET support and the MySQL provider in Mono both work, but there is a lot
of missing functionality and bugs.  It is under heavy development.

Dear Mono,

I have need of a MySQL driver (preferably nothing to do with ODBC) which
works under Linux and on Windows.  Ie, preferably written in c#.

I have seen various ones which are: -Platform Dependent, -Have no
visible documentation, -Licence Restricted, -Undefined/Dubius Quality.
(etc...)

If anybody can give me a link, or share any experience, this would be
extreamly useful for me.
