Error message - Can not convert from System.Byte[]

After entering my remote server details for both source and destination, I am able to pick the two databases I wish to compare (which are different names fyi).

As soon as I click on Compare Now, the comparision dialogue box appears, a green tick next to Reading Dependency Information and then a big red X next to Registering database one. The error at the bottom says:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Byte[]' to type 'System.String'.

That is as far as it gets every time.

  • Destination: GNU/Linux / MySQL 5.0.77 Source Distribution

    I'm getting the same error message using MySQL Community Edition V5.0.21.

    Is there any more information on this error?

    Hi guys,

    I know this has been a long time coming, but this bug (along with several others) is fixed!. You can download the latest version of both tools from www.mysql-compare.com.

    Hi,

    I am suffering from the same issue when comparing an AWS MySQL 5.6 instance with another AWS MySQL 8.0 instance. It works if I am comparing two databases on the same MySQL 5.6 server.

    Is this an issue with MySQL 8.0, it seems like?

    My development database contains 10 tables and 3 SPs.

    What a waste of money if you're running MySQL 8.0. Very disappointing Red Gate. Put in a support ticket after _paying_ for this software and have been told it's unsupported.
