[Mono-list] Port MSSQL implementation as well

[Madars Vitolins]

Support for PostgreSQL in Visual Studio 2005 with design time extensions
(DDEX) is available commercially (could bee googled :) and that is not
Npgsql. Even if we crated project using this one, it would not run on FREE
environment without setting up commercial components.
Npgsql could be only refereced from code.

Madars.
