Alternative to MyODBC?

I've done some googling around and it seems a lot of people use MyODBC to connect to mysql. MyODBC works great for me until I get to a specific scenario, where I run into a bug in the provider. Does anyone know of an alternative ODBC provider I could use? Or perhaps an OLEDB provider? I'm using C# to access the database.

MyODBC does not work for what how I seek to use it due to an unfortunate bug in its implementation. I'm not looking for support on MyODBC. I just want to know if there are alternatives I am not aware of.

I'm really just playing around with new technology, which means I'm not interested in switching up languages or the environment in which I'm working.

Thanks,
Merth

Write eqemu code, not flame code. As far as alternatives, I don't know of any.

Hey, it was nothin personal, just don't like languages originated by....you know...them. Don't like their operating systems, especially their "server" operating systems, don't really like them at all.

Have you tried the other drivers?

There are two different drivers. The 2.5 and the 3.5.1

If the 3.5.1 Version doesn't work try the 2.5 version.

The difference has something to do with Native and emulated (Like how JDBC has three different types of drivers)

2.5 used to be more compatable but slower and had less features. I think the 3.5 series is as compatable as the 2.5 version now but if it's a particular bug it might not have the same bug.

There are other drivers but they cost money so I haven't really been following them. There are lots of JDBC drivers but that doesn't really help you :-)
