title: How to expose a MySQL database as OData
body: <p>I currently have a mySQL database and want interact with it using OData.</p>
  
  <p>In other words, I want to expose the data in this form:
  <a href="http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/">http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/</a></p>
  
  <p>I've found several tutorials on how to do this (for example, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2010trainingcourse_buildingappandservicesusingodatavs2010_topic3.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2010trainingcourse_buildingappandservicesusingodatavs2010_topic3.aspx</a>) if I have Microsoft Visual Studio. But I'm a mac girl. :(</p>
  
  <p>I've also looked at the libraries at the odata homepage (under libraries, and then mysql). But I can't get them to work.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any easy SIMPLE library that can handle this for me?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks so much for the help!!</p>
