  Hello,
  
  There is no ODBC support now; we will implement it later.

  ok, would you mind looking at it as soon as you can?
  
  The reason I ask is that any software the uses mysql connector .net should be open source (connector.net is GPL *NOT* LGPL),
  or have a commercial usage license (and that costs a fair bit of money).
  
  To avoid needing to link to mysql software, you can use ODBC as it is not dependant on mysql, it's a universal interface that can use
  mysql if the end user chooses to, the software will be completely independant of mysql, meaning I won't legally have to release the source code of my application.
  
  Thanks,

  I've been looking at the mysql plugin and I don't think it'll be much different...
  
  using system.data.odbc; ...
  MySqlConnectionStringBuilder = ODBCConnectionStringBuilder
  MySqlConnection = ODBCConnection
  
  maybe it's just a simple change?

  Very fast work! Thanks for this!
  
  Are the daily builds automated, if so, what time are they available? I look forward to trying it out.
  
  Thanks,
