title: How to use MySQL database for nopCommerce framework?
body: <p>nopCommerce provides all the requirements for my project except that I want to use MySQL as my database Engine.
  Are there any existing Database Driver class like there are in CodeIgniter which will allow me to use MySQL as my db engine.</p>
  
  <p>I'm new to .NET so if there is no such kind of driver then can you help me building a new one from scratch?</p>
  
  <p>P.S.
  I've done some research on this and found that following links might be useful</p>

  <p>It would be great if anyone could even help me with the development approach.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
