I just spotted a (long-awaited!) update to the MySQL Connector/Net - version 1.08 RC is now available for download. I was about to patch my own to resolve the “Character set ‘utf8′ is not supported” issue, but now I might be able to get away with the RC version - it’s probably safer than anything I’d patch, in any event.
So far things look good, with only one small fix required - this falls into the “I was getting away with it until now” category, but in a fit of copying and pasting, it looks like I had a few parameters in a query with the same name. It was working before 1.08, but it looks like a change (possibly this one) made the system a little bit more strict.
I’m going to keep the system under load for a day or so, and if all looks good, I’ll deploy it. At this point I’ll take the risk of an RC-related bug over the known character set error problem.
