Jeffrey McManus: MySQL Gotchas for .NET Developers

Jeffrey McManus: MySQL Gotchas for .NET Developers: "Yet when I tell people in Silicon Valley that I'm using C# and MySQL together, they look at me like I just stepped off a flying saucer. I am here to say that using MySQL is 110% righteous on Windows and you don't have to sacrifice much of anything (including GUI tools, which were one of my big requirements) to use it.

I am going to do more to evangelize the .NET and MySQL combination because it's worked so well for us to date. To start, I'm going to describe two gotchas I've run into while developing Approver.com. Neither of these are things that I'd consider to be major problems, although they did require a bit of research and testing to figure out."
