"fatal error encountered during command execution" when trying to add a view from MySQL DB

Question

I'm trying to add some tables and views from a MySQL database to a project in VS2005. After a lot of looking around I ended using the ADO.NET connector, which works pretty fine, except when trying to add a View with the Data source configuration wizard, where I get the "fatal error encountered during command execution" error message, and when I try adding one with the query builder, where it doesn't show me the name of the columns at the diagram pane. If I add all the SELECT commands by hand, it works like a charm. Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Looks like View uses variables

To fix this add 'allow user variables=true' to your connection string. In this mode it will not complain when it sees @data but doesn't find a parameter of that name.
