The ADO.NET standalone client is under development: before completing
it I would like to see if the protocol communication works as it
should.

That should be an incoherence in the implementation, for which I would
like to apologyze: the main purpose of the ADO.NET layer shipped into
the *.Client namespace is to provide an easy interface to the DB, but
maybe I didn't follow the right path of implementation of that
particular method.
Because of these kind of situation I called for testers to notify me
such these errors.

Thank you again for the support.
Antonello
