What is a database provider?

Answer Posted / sireesha

MySQLDirect .NET is data provider to direct access to MySQL
database server for
the Microsoft .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework. It
is completely based
on ActiveX Data Objects for the .NET Framework (ADO.NET)
technology. ADO.NET provides
a rich set of components for creating distributed, data-
sharing applications. It
is an integral part of the .NET Framework, providing access
to relational data,
XML, and application data.





MySQLDirect .NET data provider can be used in the same way
as the SQL Server .NET
or the OLE DB .NET Data Provider. Data provider can access
MySQL server either using
native MySQL network protocol directly or through MySQL
client library. It allows
to create lightweight and fast applications working with
MySQL.
