1. 首先需要安装mysql，
下载地址： https://www.jb51.net/softs/2193.html 或者去mysql.com官网都可以,一路next，安装好后，有个简单配置,提示有个设置登录密码和服务名称，
默认localhost，用户名root，密码自己设置。

2. 安装了mysql数据库后，需要一个管理工具，就像sqlserver的SQL Server Management Studio一样，推荐使用Navicat for MySQL，
下载地址：https://www.jb51.net/database/2223.html，安装后，打开界面如下图

确定后，右键新建的连接名字，就可以建数据库，建表了。字段类型和sqlserver基本一致。

3. Asp.net连接mysql 不推荐使用ODBC,推荐是用mysql官网提供的组件动)MySQL.Data.Dll，官网地址，
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.1.html；可能需要简单的注册下用户，看好版本，如果嫌弃麻烦可以直接下载一个相应版本的MySQL.Data.Dll ，放入bin下，增加引用即可
4. 我自己写的一个简单MysqlHelper.cs类，操作和sqlserver 很相似。有了这个类，你就知道怎么用了，很简单
代码如下

5. 需要注意的地方有如下几点
1）在sqlserver中参数化sql语句是用“@”符号，在mysql里面需要是用？号，切记，切记.
2 ）还有就是sqlserver中删除表可以这样写delete news where ID=12，但是在mysql里面 是delete from news where ID=12，收了from报错
3 ）我在使用过程中遇到了中文乱码，网上大部分解决办法是把表的设置成utf-8字符集。以及 C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1路径下my.ini 打开找到两处
default-character-set 都设置成=utf8，但是我的还是乱码，最后

6.以上是我的个人总结，有可能很肤浅，不要见笑，有问题共同解决，谢谢~
