Hi,
When does Map crash exactly? Before or while doing the bulk copy? Any error messages?
Can you use bulk copy with another shape file / sdf file and MySQL?
Can you crate a datastore in MySQL manually?
Which version of MySQL do you use (supported is MySQL 5.0.22, see: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=8447740)
