I'll add a +1 for the MySQL connector. (We have customers using it in a
.NET/Windows environment too and it works pretty well)

The author of the ByteFX connector was hired by MySQL AB IIRC, and the
MySQL connector itself is based on this code. I'd consider the ByteFX
version comatose if not completely dead. :-)
