mono-hackers or mono-list is the correct place so far to ask about it.

there's no documentation for it, but it is used as any other ADO.NET
provider. So, look for some documentation on how to use, for instance,
System.Data.OleDb, and then, to use MySql's one, just replace
System.Data.OleDb with Mono.Data.MySql. There are some small
differences, but most things are identical.
