[Mono-list] Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server database support inMono ADO.NET

[Daniel Morgan]

Richard,

Can these students contribute their work to Mono under a X11/MIT license?  I
would be more than happy to use a port of jTDS to C# in Mono
System.Data.SqlClient instead of FreeTDS.

Thanks,
Daniel

I have two students planning to port jTDS to C#.
Why don't you take that approach instead?

I talked with Rodrigo about this yesterday.
