Subject: MySQL Connector/Net 1.0.2 gamma is released
> Hi,
>
> MySQL Connector/Net 1.0.2, a new version of the fully-managed, ADO.Net
> provider for the popular MySQL database system has been released.
>
> Version 1.0.2 is the first gamma release of the original ByteFX MySQL
> provider acquired earlier this year. This release is suitable for use
> with any MySQL version including MySQL-4.1 or MySQL-5.0.
>
> It is now available in source and binary form from the Connector/Net
> download pages at
> http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/1.0.html
> and mirror sites (note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this
> point of time - if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try
> again later or choose another download site.)

> ========================= Attention
> ======================================
> There is a known problem where data packets larger than 16M are not
> handled

> bug reports on this issue as the test suite already identifies this as a

> Illegal Mix of Collations problem
> ---------------------------------
> Many people have been wondering about the illegal mix of collations
> problem.
> I will explain the problem here and explain how 1.0.2 handles it.
> Starting
> with MySQL 4.1, it is possible to specify what character set SQL will be
> sent to the server in. Upon connection, the server identifies what
> character set is the "default" however tables and fields can use whatever
> character set is desired.
>
> No matter what character set is used for the connection, anytime SQL
> that uses a different character set (think multi-language projects
> here) is used, then the user will need to use functions like CONVERT
> to make sure the SQL is understood by the server properly. The user
> will also need to specify an
> appropriate connection character set, such as utf8. This is done by
> including "charset=xxx" on the connection string.
>
> Now to the reason you are seeing this "bug". Versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1
> of the provider always used utf8 for the connection. This means that
> literal elements of SQL ( WHERE name = 'this is the literal' ) would
> be treated as utf8 by the server. When it compared these to latin1
> columns, for example, it complained. This is not really a bug.
> There's just several different approaches to handling the situation
> and we are trying to handle it in such
> a way that causes the least headaches for users.
>
> Hopefully 1.0.2 will ease some of the migration pains that so many of
> you have been posting about. Good luck!
