MySQL Connector/Python enables Python programs to access MySQL databases, using an API that is compliant with the Python Database API Specification v2.0 (PEP 249).

For notes detailing the changes in each release of Connector/Python, see MySQL Connector/Python Release Notes.

MySQL Connector/Python includes support for:

• Almost all features provided by MySQL Server up to and including MySQL Server version 8.0.

  Connector/Python 8.0 also supports X DevAPI. For documentation of the concepts and the usage of MySQL Connector/Python with X DevAPI, see X DevAPI User Guide.

• Converting parameter values back and forth between Python and MySQL data types, for example Python datetime and MySQL DATETIME. You can turn automatic conversion on for convenience, or off for optimal performance.

• All MySQL extensions to standard SQL syntax.

• Protocol compression, which enables compressing the data stream between the client and server.

• Connections using TCP/IP sockets and on Unix using Unix sockets.

• Secure TCP/IP connections using SSL.

• Self-contained driver. Connector/Python does not require the MySQL client library or any Python modules outside the standard library.

For information about which versions of Python can be used with different versions of MySQL Connector/Python, see Chapter 3, Connector/Python Versions.

Note

Connector/Python does not support the old MySQL Server authentication methods, which means that MySQL versions prior to 4.1 will not work.

Connector/NET 8.0.30

Select Operating System:

Connector/NET is a fully-managed ADO.NET driver for MySQL.

MySQL Connector/NET 8.0 is compatible with all MySQL versions starting with MySQL 5.6. Additionally, MySQL Connector/NET 8.0 supports the new X DevAPI for development with MySQL Server 8.0.

Online Documentation:

• MySQL Connector/NET Installation Instructions
• Documentation
• MySQL Connector/NET API Reference (requires Connector/NET 8.0)
• Change History

MySQL Connector/NET 8.0 is highly recommended for use with MySQL Server 8.0, 5.7 and 5.6. Please upgrade to MySQL Connector/NET 8.0.

Please report any bugs or inconsistencies you observe to our Bugs Database.
Thank you for your support!

There are two Connector/NET release series described in this guide:

• MySQL Connector/NET 8.0 is a continuation of Connector/NET 7.0, but now named to synchronize the first digit of the version number with the (highest) MySQL server version it supports. This version combines the functionality of the previous Connector/NET release series, including support for X Protocol connections. Connector/NET customizes Entity Framework Core to operate with MySQL data, enables compression in the .NET driver implementation, and extends cross-platform support to Linux and macOS.

  MySQL Connector/NET 8.0 is highly recommended for use with MySQL Server 8.0.

• MySQL Connector/NET 6.10 has reached end-of-service.

Secure connections using the TLSv1.2 protocol require Connector/NET 8.0.11 or later. In addition, your Microsoft Windows host must have the TLSv1.2 protocol enabled. Connections made using Windows named pipes or shared memory do not support the TLSv1.2 protocol. For general guidance about configuring the server and clients for secure connections, see Configuring MySQL to Use Encrypted Connections.

Note

.NET 6, .NET 5, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET Framework 4.8 (Windows only) include support for the TLSv1.3 protocol. Be sure to confirm that the operating system running your application also supports TLSv1.3 before using it exclusively for connections.

The following table shows the versions of ADO.NET, .NET (Core and Framework), and MySQL Server that are supported or required by MySQL Connector/NET. For the specific Entity Framework versions that Connector/NET targets, see Chapter 7, Connector/NET for Entity Framework.
