Possible to use SVN with MySQL in VS2010?

I have an ASP.NET project which has used MS-SQL as a database, with version control being taken care of by Ankh SVN. MS-SQL databases in ASP.NET are stored in the App_Data folder, which means that they are versioned by subversion.

I'm wanting to switch from MS-SQL to MySQL, but MySQL databases don't seem to be stored in the visual studio project folder... which surely means that they won't be included in any subversion commits (?).

What's the best way to ensure an MySQL database is included in subversion commits? E.g. Is it possible to have the MySQL database in the App_Data folder like with MS-SQL?

Thanks!

Typically you can export the entire database in a plain text file.

Using PHP My Admin you can select the database and then EXPORT it and it will store all the database into a text file in your downloads folder... Then you could put that file into your subversion folder.

A ittle bit of extra work but it could work.

Good luck!

Presumably I would have to do this every time I made any change to it, before committing?

Yes, this is the best I can imagine in that environment... I know it is not the best but it would work...
