This is pre-release, alpha-quality software. There is no published NuGet package for it yet; you must compile from source (see below).

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. It's compatible with popular data access libraries such as Dapper.

Ubuntu 14.04	Windows x64

Install the latest dotnet-cli.

To build and run the tests, clone the repo and execute:

dotnet restore
dotnet test tests\MySql.Data.Tests

To run the side-by-side tests, see the instructions.

The goals of this project are:

1. .NET Core support: It must compile and run under CoreCLR.
2. Async: All operations must be truly asynchronous whenever possible.
3. High performance: Avoid unnecessary allocations and copies when reading data.
4. Lightweight: Only the core of ADO.NET is implemented, not EF or Designer types.

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.
