You need a MySQL connector for .NET, this one, for example.

let connectionStr = "Data Source=localhost; Port=3306; User ID=root; Password=q1w2e3;"
let connection : IDbConnection = upcast new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection(connectionStr)

See System.Data documentation for detailed information.

Hope this is helpful.

F# works with the normal .NET class libraries. So any .NET MySQL connector will work.

For example, this on here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
