Missing MySQL Provider

Post by guinness » Tue 22 Nov 2016 04:15

I downloaded Entity Developer 6.0 Express to evaluate. When I create an Entity Model, I have the following options for providers:

.NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0
.Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL
.Net Framework Data Provider for SqlServer

When I try to create an EF Core Model, I only have the following options for providers:

.NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0
.Net Framework Data Provider for SqlServer

I had installed MySQL Connector/NET 7.0.6, what is needed to show the MySQL provider for EF Core?

Thank you for your report. We will fix the issue with MySQL Connector/NET and notify you.

As a workaround, please use dotConnect for MySQL Professional (Trial).

I'm having the same issue. I've been using the registered version of ED for about 2 years with no problems and recently attempted to upgrade the MySql connector. Now I do not have the option for the MySql provider.

MySQL EF Core provider in Connector/Net was implemented recently, and it is pre-release: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/cor ... ers/mysql/. That's why it is missing in a current version of Entity Developer. Anyway, we have supported it. Look forward to the next public build of Entity Developer.

@Shalex - thank you! I downloaded Entity Developer version 6.0.147 and Connector/Net data provider now works.

@SharpDog - it works for me. Maybe download Connector/Net version 7.0.6 and try again, or use the repair option.

MySql.Data 7.0.6 is a .Net Core provider. Entity Developer works only with .NET Framework providers. Please use MySql.Data 6.9.9 for creating the EF Core model and generating the code.
