There is the open source
but in general, unless it’s a restricted lan, it bad practice to have a mobile app directly connect to a database server. You should have a web API that frontends the database.
Thank you for your answer. This solved my issue, because I will use it only with a restricted lan.
The provided context does not mention any specific free MySQL plugins for .NET MAUI. However, for .NET applications in general, you can use the MySql.Data package, which is a common library for accessing MySQL databases. This package can be installed via NuGet and is often used in various .NET applications, including Windows apps.
For .NET MAUI specifically, you might need to check compatibility and any additional libraries that support .NET MAUI, as the context does not provide direct information on plugins specifically designed for it.
