About

MySqlConnector is a C# ADO.NET driver for MySQL, MariaDB, Amazon Aurora, Azure Database for MySQL and other MySQL-compatible databases.

More documentation is available at the MySqlConnector website.

How to Use

// set these values correctly for your database server
var builder = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder
{
	Server = "your-server",
	UserID = "database-user",
	Password = "P@ssw0rd!",
	Database = "database-name",
};

// open a connection asynchronously
await using var connection = new MySqlConnection(builder.ConnectionString);
await connection.OpenAsync();

// create a DB command and set the SQL statement with parameters
await using var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = @"SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_id = @OrderId;";
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OrderId", orderId);

// execute the command and read the results
await using var reader = await command.ExecuteReaderAsync();
while (reader.Read())
{
	var id = reader.GetInt32("order_id");
	var date = reader.GetDateTime("order_date");
	// ...
}

ASP.NET

For ASP.NET, use the MySqlConnector.DependencyInjection package to integrate with dependency injection and logging.

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// use AddMySqlDataSource to configure MySqlConnector
builder.Services.AddMySqlDataSource(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("Default"));

var app = builder.Build();

// use dependency injection to get a MySqlConnection in minimal APIs or in controllers
app.MapGet("/", async (MySqlConnection connection) =>
{
    // open and use the connection here
    await connection.OpenAsync();
    await using var command = connection.CreateCommand();
    command.CommandText = "SELECT name FROM users LIMIT 1";
    return "Hello World: " + await command.ExecuteScalarAsync();
});

app.Run();
