Everyone,
I've spoken with Miguel about how the System.Data namespace should be =
implemented, and he sugested I post my thoughts on the mono-list. =
According to the Mono site It was believed that we could just write a =
wrapper to GnomeDB. After looking at the Namespace, I noticed that =
there has been a major overhaul to ADO, with new concepts like the =
DataSet, DataReaders, and the ability to synchronize a DataSet with an =
XmlDataDocument. I belive a wrapper to GnomeDB would have been great if =
ADO.NET wasn't an architectural overhaul from the previous versions of =
ADO.
This brings up another topic of conversation. .NET currently has two =
data providers: a SQL Server Data Provider, and an OLE DB Data Provider. =
I'm not very fimilar with Databases and Data access on the Linux/Unix =
platform. Would there need to be another Data Provider for the Linux =
platform?
All your thoughts and constructive input is welcome,
Chris Podurgiel
