Can not connect to MariaDB Database

[Alex-Dall]

Hello,
I have a problem using this program: I can not connect to my MariaDB database. The database is reachable with other tools, only with this one i can't connect.
I don't know if i do something wrong or if it is a bug.

I have done the following setttings:
Database Type: MySQL
OLE DB Provider: MSDataShape
Server or file name: IpAddress:Port
Location:
Use a specific user name and password: My username and password

If I clilck on "Test Connection" it says "Test conncetion succeded" (But I can write anything into the fields. As long as I leave MSDataShape the Test Connection "works")

The connection string generated:
Provider=MSDataShape.1;Data Source=####.####.#.##:####;User ID=root;Password="#########"

But when I click on "Connect" it gives me the following error in the status bar at the bottom:
Keyword not supported. Parametername: provider

I would be really happy if you could help me.

Alex

PS: If have tried it with the latest compiled release and I have also built the on my one with the code GitHub.

That seems to be a major oversight the provider is simply broken or not integrated correctly. Tried using the Tool for a PostgreSQL Database. Using the MSDataShape provider results in the same error message.

if you simply upgrade the npgsql reference to 4.06 and fix the connectionstring in NpgsqlMetadataReader it works fine.

good luck!
