    Remove MySQL dependency from Umbraco

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Hello,

    I have developed website on Umbraco CMS (v 7.12.4) with database as MS SQL Server 2017. For some reasons, I would like to remove MySQL dependency from Umbraco.

    I thought deleting MySQL.Data.dll and removing configs from web.config would do that job, but that resulted in error.

    enter image description here

    Is it possible to remove MySQL dependency without editing Umbraco source code?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Abilash

    umbraco.DataLayer has references to MySQL.Data.dll, so if you want to remove it you have to remove these references as well.

    You can try to do it by changing the source code of umbraco.DataLayer, have a look here - https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/tree/dev-v7/src/umbraco.datalayer/SqlHelpers/MySql

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Why do you need to remove MySQL.Data.dll?

    It was super easy.

    Below are the projects from where I have removed MySQL reference.

    1. umbraco.DataLayer -> removed reference + compiled new DLL
    2. Umbraco.Core -> removed reference + compiled new DLL
    3. Umbraco.Web.UI -> removed reference + commented out code

    Hope this helps.
