.Net Core MySql

Question

I\'ve just started coding in Visual Studio Code with .NET Core, on Ubuntu 14.04.4 I\'m used to both using Ubuntu (from personal interests, hobby, etc) and .NET and Visual St

Answer 1

At the time of this question (Mar 2016) there was no .NET Core-compatible ADO.NET provider for MySQL.

Now situation is changed:

• MySqlConnector written by Bradley Grainger -- licensed under MIT, and offers full async support
• MySql.Data (>6.10) provided by Oracle (traditionally, GPL)

Personally I prefer MySqlConnector -- it can be used in commercial projects for free (MIT license); also I've tested it with my NReco.Data library under Linux, and it works perfectly in my scenarious. Unfortunately, MySqlConnector doesn't support EF Core yet.

--- UPDATE --

One more .NET Core-compatible MySQL connector + EF Core MySQL provider:

• Pomelo.Data.MySql (unfortunately it doesn't implement true async behaviour)
• Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql

UPDATE 2

MySql Connector NET for .NET Core 1.0 was just released (Sep 2016)
http://insidemysql.com/mysql-connector-net-for-net-core-1-0/

I didn't try Bradley Grainger's connector, but this one from MySQL do not support SSL. :(

So, anybody who wants to use anyway, should connect with ";SslMode=None;" in the connection string.
