access mysql using dnxcore on linux/osx

Question

So MySql.Data dependency does not support DNXCORE version 5. Is there another dependency I could use to connect to MySql data source? I don't need Entity Framework.

Answer 1

Right now it is not possible to use mysql.data with DNX Core 5.0. You have to add the mysql.data from nuget, reference it to dnx451 and add the dependency there. Remove the "dnxcore50" item in the project.json and move the dependency to dnx451. it should look like this:

  "frameworks": {
    "dnx451": {
      "dependencies": {
        "MySql.Data": "6.9.8"
      },
      "frameworkAssemblies": {
        "System.Data": "4.0.0.0",
        "System.XML": "4.0.0.0"
      }
    }
  }
