[Mono-list] MySQL Connector/NET vs Mono

[Daniel Morgan]

If people are having problems running the MySQL Connector/NET on Mono, people could report these bugs to MySQL's bug database or wherever it is or a message to their public forum or mailing list to let them know.
 
However, I do believe "we" should continue to maintain ByteFX.Data since it works with Mono and it is distributed with Mono.  Nobody has stepped up to maintain it.  Any takers?
 
When having problems, it is usually good to include version info too:
What version of Mono?  Version of the MySQL database?  Version of MySQL Connector/Net?  Operating System/Processor?
 
I have read that ByteFX.Data fails to run on newer 4.x and 5.0 databases.

Hi,

I had lots of problems using the MySQL Connector under Mono and
eventually reverted to using ByteFX - supported or not!

However, If Joe's way works, then that is cool.
