This is an ADO.NET data
provider for MySQL. It provides implementations of
DbConnection, DbCommand, DbDataReader, DbTransaction—the classes
needed to query and update databases from managed code.
This is a clean-room reimplementation of the MySQL Protocol
and is not based on the official connector. It’s
fully async, supporting the async ADO.NET methods added in .NET 4.5 without blocking
(or using Task.Run to run synchronous methods on a background thread). It’s also 100%
compatible with .NET Core.
This library is compatible with popular .NET ORMs including:
For Entity Framework support, use:
Install the latest .NET Core.
To build and run the tests, clone the repo and execute:
dotnet restore
dotnet test tests\MySqlConnector.Tests
To run the side-by-side tests, see the instructions.
The goals of this project are:
- .NET Core support: It must compile and run under .NET Core.
- Async: All operations must be truly asynchronous whenever possible.
- High performance: Avoid unnecessary allocations and copies when reading data.
- Lightweight: Only the core of ADO.NET is implemented, not EF or Designer types.
- Managed: Managed code only, no native code.
Cloning the full API of the official MySql.Data is not a goal of this project, although it will try not to be gratuitously incompatible. For common scenarios, this package should be a drop-in replacement.
