Using MySql Database with .NET ADO objects

Hello,

I am using the MySQL database from vb.net. I don't have any problems
using the database from code with the MySQL ODBC 3.51 drivers. However, I
have been unable to use the OdbcDataAdapter and other database object related
wizards for establishing a connection through the GUI tools. I have noticed
that there are some third party products that make these objects work with
MySQL but I really don't won't to spend the extra money to get one. So, I
have two questions. One, is there any real benefit to using the wizards in
creating these objects? Two, why can't the wizards seem to establish the
right connection to the MySQL database but the manually written code can.

Thanks

you should ask this question in the mySQL section of www.asp.net - chances
are you'll get an answer there.

Hi, I'm looking for an object-relational layer, which can wrap a MySQL database into highly pythonic objects. There seem to be dozens of packages which provide some of this functionality, but all the ones I've looked at so far have major drawbacks. What I'm looking for in an object-relational wrapper layer is:

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in...
