I was using ByteFx and recently switched to the MySQL Connector.
I think either of these is likely to be more efficient than odbc.
I switched because ByteFX had some problems with certain versions of MySQL.
You do have to code things a little different with the new connector compared to ByteFx, see my notes about it here:

Hope it helps,

Thanks, I will try .NET connector.
A last question: I read on the mono page that also ODBC is supported,
however, didn't test it. Has anybody experience with it?
In general, which way to access a MySQL database is the right one, suggested
by Mono, or which one is preferable and why?
Ways of accessing MySQL:
- using an ODBC driver
- or a native provider, like ByteFx or rather its successor .NET
Connector/MySQL
(Because I'm using ByteFX and was thinking if there is a better way...)
Thanks,
Barbara
