The driver is done, templates are done, however there is a problem at the moment. We chose the CoreLab MySqlDirect.NET provider to connect to the MySql database to avoid GPL licensing issues (MySql never answered my questions strangely enough, they only wanted to answer them by phone, while I want the answers in writing for obvious reasons)

I now run into a major bug in the Corelab MySqlDirect.NET provider so I can't release the MySql driver for LLBLGen Pro at the moment (transaction.Rollback doesn't work in their code frowning , I have to call Rollback on the connection (transaction.Rollback should do that too, but their code doesn't work correctly... ). As soon as they fixed it, I'll release the driver.

I must say that this MySql driver is one big misery so far. Writing the driver was easy, except for the FK retrieval code which isn't there (as I have to parse table creation script code for that...), but for the rest it's a pain. Let's hope CoreLab fixes this issue a.s.a.p.
