[Mono-list] ODBC.NET Data Provider

[Daniel Morgan]

Brian,

Being able to connet to a database and do queries is a milestone in itself.
It wouldn't hurt to go ahead and check it into cvs.  Besides, I feel safer
anything I have worked on has been put into cvs because I know Ximian guys
keep things backed up unlike my computer. :-)

I don't know what the namespace or assembly for the ODBC provider in .NET
1.1, but the MSDN download of the ODBC provider for .NET 1.0 uses
Microsoft.Data.Odbc as the namespace and Microsoft.Data.Odbc.dll as the
assembly name.

We have SQL# which is a command-line SQL query tool written in C# that can
connect to various databases using the various ADO.NET providers.  It can be
found
at mcs/class/System.Data/Test/SqlSharpCli.cs   However, don't be to
disappointed in the tool, it was mainly meant for testing Mono's
System.Data.

What would be nice is to have a MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, Query
Analyzer, or TOAD like tool for Mono System.Data written in C# and using
GTK#.

Sounds good, I've got a little more work before I send in the patch.  I
don't want to send in anything that is too raw :)

Has anyone looked at .NET 1.1 yet?  I'm assuming they are moving the Odbc
stuff under the System.Data namespace...so that is how my stuff is setup.
(System.Data.Odbc)

Have you guys talked about providing any basic db tools with the mono
framework?  Like a isql-style command line tool?  This might be a good way
for people to test their database connections, etc.

Keep up the good work guys...the framework is looking good.

Brian
