It says: Details: "An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Character set 'utf8mb3' is not supported by .Net Framework.'".
Any ideas on this? thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I downgraded my MySQL/Net Connector to 8.0.28 and that seemed to fix the issue
My problem is solved
I do the following
1- You delete the current data source via -> File -> Options and settings -> Data source settings
2- I deleted MySQL Connector/NET 8.0.30
3- I downloaded MySQL Connector/NET 8.0.28
Download Link :
MySQL Connector/NET 8.0.28
It is working fine for me now
I am having the same issue. Tried installing different versions of Mysql/Net connector, reinstalled gateway and no luck. The previous comment links to a database that was changed from MySQL to MariaDB, which is not my case either. It was working perfectly until this morning and nothing changed on the MySQL database
I downgraded my MySQL/Net Connector to 8.0.28 and that seemed to fix the issue
Thank you! This is the first thing that worked for me after spending at least 4 to 5 hours trying to resolve it with various older connector/net versions and other interventions.
