it looks ok to me. I would also add one thing though, which is a way to
activate a given provider/connection string without having to know the
provider to be used. That is, something like the ODBC (or libgda) data
sources, on which you store, under a unique name, all parameteres needed
for the connection to be established. Something like:

IDbConnection cnc = ProviderFactory.CreateConnectionFromConfig
("my_data_source");

and then have, in the config file, an entry called "my_data_source"
which contains the info for the provider and connection string to be
used to open this given connection.

Apart from that, it looks ok to me, so please commit as soon as you can.

and sorry for the delay in answering, but I've been really busy these
last weeks.

cheers
