[amerigo5 amerigo5]

Francisco,
I am just wondering, isn't Npgsql part of the mono installation already? 
Thanks. -G

You may also want to have a look at Npgsql, another .Net Data Provider for 
Postgresql. More info about it can be found at: 
<http://www.go-mono.com/postgresql.html> and 
<http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql/projdisplay.php>.

I hope it helps.
