Introduction
In my last article I
showed how we can implement CRUD operations using Entity Framework using a SQL Server database, now I would like to show you how we can implement the same using a MySQL database.
Creation of table and stored procedures are left out as it is almost the same as we did in SQL
Server.
Problem faced
Before doing this I would like to talk about a few problems that I faced.
While mapping stored procedures from the model I am unable to assign parameters as we did in SQL
Server. Generally in SQL, while assigning parameters, we write as follows:
var ietsParameterEmpAddress = new MySqlParameter("@EmpAddress", txtAddress.Text);
We use @ here as we assign parameters inside a Stored Procedure with @ symbol. In
a similar way I tried the same by replacing @ with _ as we use _ symbol for assigning variables in MySQL stored procedures.
Then I called the stored procedure as follows:
entities.ExecuteStoreCommand("uspInsertUsers _UserName,_Password,
_FirstName,_LastName)", userName,password,FirstName,LastName);
After executing and trying to execute command, I got an exception as:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version
for the right syntax to use near 'uspInsertUsers 'Dorababu','sae','Dorababu','M'' at line:
For the first one as per explained here Entity, we can
insert data without mapping stored procedures by using ExecuteStoreCommand and others.
For later we have to replace _ with ? so our
parameters should be passed like this:
var ietsParameterEmpAddress = new MySqlParameter("?EmpAddress", txtAddress.Text);
Then ExecuteStoreCommand should be as follows:
entities.ExecuteStoreCommand("CALL uspInsertUsers(?UserName,
?Password,?FirstName,?LastName)", userName,password,FirstName,LastName);
Everything remaining is as per we did in our earlier blogs. The design and code
are almost the same except the changes I mentioned.
I would like to thank Vulpes for helping me in resolving these issues.

I am working as a Software engineer. Web development in Asp.Net with C#, WinForms and MS sql server are the experience tools that I have had for the past 3 years. Yet to work on WCF, WPF, Silverlight and other latest ones.
