Hi everyone. Just announcing that i have started creating a MySQL DataProvider for DNN. In the coming days i will try and get a blog up and start tweeting with my progress (http://twitter.com/rupurt). It will be a fully open source project that i will be setting up on google code and running of the standard MySQL connecter/NET.

Development will be for v4.9 and eventually i will add backwards compatibilty if bugs crop up. I will be posting to this forum regularly also if you want to keep tract

 I do realize that it is a signifigant effort! But i have upgraded the devart mysql provider to 4.9 so i have experience doing it :)

 The reason i'm creating this one is because the devart one requires their proprietary connector and costs money. I want to create a MySQL provider that is open and regularly update. I will be using the standard Mysql Connector/NET and generating my own scripts. The devart scripts only support MyISAM tables (No Foreign keys), don't support GUID's and have non standard custom aspnet_ tables.
