connecting to a MySQL server
2 questions.
1. can I connect to a MySQL server using the System.Data.SqlClient namespace? if so what kind of connection string do I use? if not I assume i need to use ODBC, is this correct?
2. the MySQL server is on a different computer (that is posing as a server <_<) how do I specify this in the connection string?
thanks for all your help in advance. I'm only used to work on a local MSSQL server, so I may have some other quesitons in the future.
