Hi there, I've downloaded Lightspeed evaluate and found out that it does not come with a connector to connect to mysql databases. If I purchase, would I still Lightspeed require a third party connector to Mysql?
Thanks |

At runtime, you should not need a separate connector -- just reference the MySql.Data.dll in the installation Providers folder. At design time, it depends on how you want to create your models. If you are creating your models using the Toolbox, you do not need a connector. But if you want to drag tables from an existing database via Server Explorer, then yes, you will need the connector to get the Server Explorer integration. You can get the MySQL Connector/Net free from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/ (note: LightSpeed is built against 6.3.6 so you may prefer to download that version rather than the very latest). |

Mysql.Data.dll is licenced under GPL. I would have to purchase your license and also Mysql license to be able to embed all in my program and sell it to customers. |
