From 776aa994d523caacf3e02c44b585d48bc185a046 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Lenski Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2024 12:31:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Mention MariaDB prominently in the README While several of the detailed documentation pages *do* mention compatibility with MariaDB, the README does not mention it explicitly. This might cause MariaDB users to overlook this package as a good solution for connecting to their databases from .NET applications. --- README.md | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index f9b0150b6..ec8675935 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -3,7 +3,8 @@ [![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/vpre/MySqlConnector.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/MySqlConnector/) This is an [ADO.NET](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/) data -provider for [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/).
