Good to know. Are there any advantages of using the Pomelo provider over the one that Oracle created?

I just remember having some problems at first with the Oracle one. Pomelo also uses the open source MySqlConnector library which I find has more functionality than the MySql.Data.MySqlClient one. And, the opensource packages respond to bug reports and are updated much more frequently than the Oracle ones.
