Although I'm not Reggie, and can't answer some of your questions, what I
*can* tell you is that I've been using the ByteFX MySQL provider for
several months now with very few problems.  It is by far the best way to
access a MySQL database in .NET, although I haven't tried some of the
commercial solutions yet (which aren't free).  It seems that every bug
I've run into so far gets fixed before I can even report it ;)
