Can a .NET application use a MySQL database as a source
data?
Thanks
Neil
 
Yes what problems are you having. The mysql documentation is very clear on
this.
 
Yes. You can install a MySQL ODBC driver and use the .NET ODBC Provider in
your code.
However, realize that MySQL itself and its ODBC drivers are rather limited
in terms of a databases.

Rob,

And how are they limited...... besides my comment ?
The growth of the product is quite enormous.
We use them extensively for business applications and backend web.
It Works very fast and very reliably.

Outside of Stored Procedures until mid 2004.. the rest is all there.
If this was an issues use MaxDb from mySQL which has SP.
