External hard drive trawler

A C# Windows Forms application that allows the directory structure of multiple hard drives to be traversed and the contents saved to a MySql database. The app was tested with the MariaDB 10.1.21 database installed as part of XAMPP Version: 7.0.16 but it should work with any MySql compatible database. The following line in MySqlDB.cs with need to be changed for the server and login credentials of the database:

public static string connectionString = "server=localhost;user=mgs_user;database=filesearch;password=pa55word";

Database

Create a new database called 'filesearch' in phpMyAdmin and then run the SQL script to create the tables and stored procedures used by the application.

NuGet Packages

MySqlConnector

May also work with Oracle's version called MySql.Data on NuGet but has not been tested yet.

Companion application

A php application that searches the database.
