MySQL Connector/Net 6.7.0, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released. This is the first of two alpha releases intended to introduce users to the new features in the release. This release is not feature complete and there are significant limitations but it should be stable enough for users to understand the new features and how we expect them to work. As is the case with all non-GA releases, it should not be used in any production environment. It is appropriate for use with MySQL server versions 5.0-5.6

My take on the good, the bad, and the ugly of our Winter season, beside all the snow I’ve shoveled and blown to get in and out of my driveway, is:
The Good?
February brought us MySQL 5.6 GA (General Availability) and Ruby 2.0.0-p0. Mega thanks to the MySQL and Ruby teams! By the way, if you’ve always wanted to know a little about Ruby without a great deal of effort, you should check this awesome little 20 minute Ruby tutorial. Naturally, the best

MySQL Connector/Net 6.6.3, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released. This is the second of two beta releases intended to introduce users to the new features in the release.
As you probably know, there were some problems using our connector in medium-trust level scenarios. Most hosting services provide MySQL access. Most of these hosting providers run their .NET web apps using medium trust. Prior to 6.5, our connector required the hosting provider to either run the application in full trust or to enable broad privileges like SocketPermission globally. Many hosting providers are unwilling to do that. So fully enabling our provider to run in a partial trust scenario was a strongly requested feature. The request was a very simple task: enable Connector/Net to work correctly in a medium-trust level environment when the library is installed in the GAC.
The implementation consisted of including the necessary security imperative asserts so the CLR allows our code to perform the operations where it needs
[Read more...]We have a new feature as part of the 6.5 release. There is a new class that you can use to restrict access to specific connection strings that you want to use in all the connections in applications that use MySQL databases.
The following example shows how you can use the MySQLClientPermission class to restrict access to a specific server name and a database, while allowing any value for the User Id and Password within the connection string:
[Read more...]MySqlClientPermission permission = new MySqlClientPermission(PermissionState.None);
permission.Add("server=localhost;database=test;", " user id=; password=;",
KeyRestrictionBehavior.AllowOnly);
permission.PermitOnly();
MySqlConnection myconn = new MySqlConnection();
myconn.ConnectionString =

Intellisense Support in Visual Studio
One of the cool features coming in Connector/NET 6.5 is the support in Visual Studio 2010 of Intellisense for MySql files.
As you probably know, the capability of editing mysql files (in the way of both .mysql raw files included in the solution and stored procedures/functions from Server Explorer) has been around for a while, yet a missing piece of the puzzle was to have advanced completion of sql statements in those files… until now.
Let’s explore the set of features currently implemented as part of Intellisense support.
Note: For completion intellisense features to work a database connection must be properly configured, see images below

Since the release of the 5.6 Community MySQL Server there is support for the milliseconds value in Time, TimeStamp and DateTime types. You can find more information on this new feature at (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/fractional-seconds.html). Starting with version 6.5, Connector/Net fully supports milliseconds. This support does not affect compatibility with older versions of MySQL and it gives you the ability to use fractional seconds when combining Connector/Net 6.5 with MySQL Server 5.6 or later. Let's see how we should use it.
You can do this either using Connector/Net or using any MySQL client with a valid connection to your database.
For this case we're going to

When Oracle acquired MySQL there was some concern about what would happen with the world's most popular open-source database. It's clear now that not only is Oracle very serious about continuing the great database but it is expanding the teams working on it and it's related technologies. I know because I run one of those teams!
I've been working on MySQL and .NET technologies for the past 8 years and I'm very proud to introduce a couple of people who have been and will continue be working on my team.
Fernando Gonzalez currently serves as leader of our Connector/Net team and has just completed some early work on major intellisense improvements on Connector/Net 6.5. He's done work on developing a new parser for our product. [Read more...]
