The irony is that you can load an existing ODB file configured to connect to an existing mysql instance using the native connector, and it will work.

For some reason, the mysql entry is missing from the connect to database dialog list.

@cloph, @heiko : any idea why the MySQL connection entry might be missing from the Apple AppStore release ?

Typically, the dropdown dialog folded back up before I took the screenshot, so setting this as obsolete
