Q: Should we abandon Pomelo support and go with Oracle MySQL support?

Hey folks,

Pomelo is taking their sweet time releasing EF Core 10 support, which is holding up our support. However, there is another EF Core driver: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-net/en/ - and it already has EF Core 10 support. That being said, Pomelo is the most widely used MySQL EFCore driver. We just don't have a timeline for it.

Option A: I can switch the Datasync Framework to use the official connector instead of the Pomelo connector - this has lots of implications across testing and documentation, plus potentially in the EFCore driver for the Datasync service, so it's about two solid weeks of work. I would drop support for the Pomelo driver.

Option B: We can continue to wait for the Pomelo EFCore driver. Impact unknown since I haven't seen the Pomelo driver for EFCore 10 yet.

There is work to be done to support EFCore 10.

When answering, please indicate if you actively use MySQL in your code, so I can gauge how much impact this has on the MySQL community.

Thanks!
