What version of the Mysql connector in Azure?

Question

I’m starting with the Azure platform and went to test a web api in Asp.Net with EF6 and Mysql, however when I upload the application to the Azure server and try to call a service that queries my database is returned a Mysql connector error page. Can anyone tell me which version Microsoft provides and can install a newer version in my Azure account?

In my application I use EF6 and the Mysql nector is 6.9.

Thank you for your attention.

Answer 1

Making a few attempts I found the answer, the version of the Nector. Net Mysql in Azure is 6.7.9, so I am now using Entityframework 5 in my application.

If anyone knows where the Azure documentation is where I could have found that easier information I would appreciate.

Azure cloud provider does not have preset connector settings.

Every connector you need to use, you should go up along with your web design.

That is, if you need a Mysql Connector, just embed it in your web project via Nuget. As you are using Entityframework, follow the necessary connectors:

• Mysql.Data - Install-Package MySql.Data
• Mysql.Data.Entity - Install-Package MySql.Data.Entity

Thus, you do not depend on any pre-definition of the environment. You board the connector you need, in the version you need and everything works as planned.
