MariaDB ADO.NET Provider

Standard ADO.NET Access to MariaDB

The MariaDB ADO.NET Provider offers the most natural way to access MariaDB data from any .NET application. Simply use MariaDB Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the MariaDB Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for MariaDB hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The MariaDB Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB, including: MariaDBConnection, MariaDBCommand, MariaDBDataAdapter, MariaDBDataReader, MariaDBDataSource, MariaDBParameter, etc. Because of this you can now access MariaDB data in an easy, familiar way.

For example:

using (MariaDBConnection conn = new MariaDBConnection("...")) {
	string select = "SELECT * FROM MariaDBTable";
	MariaDBCommand cmd = new MariaDBCommand(select, conn);
	MariaDBDataAdapter adapter = new MariaDBDataAdapter(cmd);
	using (adapter) {
		DataTable table = new DataTable();
		adapter.Fill(table);		
		...
	}
}

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

MariaDB Data Provider goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the MariaDB Data Provider as easily as interacting with a database table.

using (MariaDBConnection connection = new MariaDBConnection(connectionString)) {
	MariaDBDataAdapter dataAdapter = new MariaDBDataAdapter(
	"SELECT Id, Where FROM MariaDBTable", connection);
  
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand = new MariaDBCommand(
		"UPDATE MariaDBTable SET Where = @Where " +
		"WHERE Id = @ID", connection);

	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Where", "Where");
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", "80000173-1387137645");

	DataTable MariaDBTableTable = new DataTable();
	dataAdapter.Fill(MariaDBTableTable);

	DataRow firstrow = MariaDBTableTable.Rows[0];
	firstrow["Where"] = "New Location";

	dataAdapter.Update(MariaDBTableTable);
}
