[dba-SQLServer]Re: Access to MySQL

You could also try SAPDB this is reborn ADABAS-D
The support for this open source has been bought by MySQL  from SAP
It is much more advanced than MySQL but is missing OLEDB providers
especially for .Net. It is open source hence waiting for someone to 
write them.
It is due out from MySQL in a few months
see
