 Summary: Mono maps BigInt Sql 2000 column to System.Decimal instead of System.Int64
 
 I have an sql table where one column is defined as a BigInt primary key 
 (identity) when mono returns a DataRow from that table the BigInt column 
 is mapped to System.Decimal. I checked this on MS .NET 1.0 and it maps 
 this column to System.Int64.

+Mono uses TDS 7.0 to communicate to MS SQL 2000 Server. 
+TDS7.0 does not support bigint data. MS SQL converts it to
+decimal(19,0) values to return to TDS 7.0 clients.
+
+
+Currently the effort to change to TDS 8.0 is significant.
