Is there a way to make a database project in visual studio for MySQL? Would I just create a normal database project and point it to a mysql database when I deploy? Is there a project template out there for this?
The options for installing MySQL for Visual Studio are: Using MySQL Installer (preferred): Download and execute the MySQL Installer. With this option you can download and install MySQL Server, MySQL for Visual Studio, and Connector/NET together from the same software package, based on the server version.
As of today (6/12/14) there is no way to create a MySQL Data Project in Visual Studio. This feature is however on the roadmap for MySQL, according to this enhancement request on the MySQL Website:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=59600
I suggest that you subscribe to that ticket so that you get notified when this feature becomes available.
Some support is now available via MySQL for Visual Studio, albeit nowhere near as advanced as the SQL server support.
