which provider should i use?

I am new to mysql and wondering which one is the best for accessing
mysql. I have read this article from mysql website:

At present, one can access MySQL using the following 3 interfaces
supported by MySQL.

The ODBC.NET Solution - MyODBC Driver.
Using MySQL Native .NET Providers.
Using the OLEDB.NET Solution - MyOLDDB Provider

any ideas is greatly appreciated.

I haven't tried to hit MySQL from .NET, but at least the OLEDB->ODBC bridge
from VB6 and C++ worked fine, so talking to it through the ODBC provider in
..NET should be your best bet, at least until the managed provider is a bit
more mature. But ultimately you use the one with fewer bugs =)

You could try the MySqlClient from www.sevenobjects.com

It appears to be a free ADO.Net data provider

jaYPee,
I would choose the provider in this order, unless one of the three proved to
be significantly faster then the others:

First choice: Using MySQL Native .NET Providers.
Second choice: Using the OLEDB.NET Solution - MyOLDDB Provider
Third choice: The ODBC.NET Solution - MyODBC Driver.

Native providers should be fastest as you are (hopefully) avoiding interop.
OLE DB is newer then ODBC so I would pick that next. However I have seen
cases where ODBC is faster then OLE DB for relational data, so I would test
the speed of all three to see which performs the best.

Hope this helps
Jay

Hi all, I have a databse which I'm pulling the data from for my ASP page. I have 4 tables, Course, Feature, Objective, and PreRequisite. The last three all contain a course product code and a text column - the course product code links the row(s) to the Course table. So, I might have 1 entry in Course, but perhaps 3 in Feature, 5 in Objective and 2 in PreRequisite.
