linq2db version: 2.7.0
Database Server: E.g. Windows Server 2008R2
Database Provider: E.g. MySql
Operating system: E.g. Windows 10
Framework version: .NET Core 2.2
Right now System.Data.SqlClient is a direct dependency of linq2db. Probably it's time to get rid of it as it also creates issue for xamarin

Install System.Data.SqlClient version 4.5.1 or latest to your project and it should work. Never mind that this is for MySql provider.
We will fix this broken dependency.
Looks like we referenced wrong version of System.Data.SqlClient in nuget. linq2db 2.7.x built using System.Data.SqlClient 2.6.0, but nuget references 4.5.1. As workaround - manually update reference to System.Data.SqlClient to 2.6.0
We will fix dependency version by #1744 in next bugfix release. For explicit dependency removal task tracking use #1715
