[Mono-list] Port MSSQL implementation as well

[Daniel Morgan]

There is Sybase Adapter Server Enterprise and VistaDB
which are similar to Microsoft SQL Server.

Sybase runs on Linux and Windows.  Mono has a data
provider for Sybase.

VistaDB 3.0 is fully managed so it should run on
Windows and Linux.  VistaDB 3.0 has support for Mono.

As in other emails: MySQL, PostgreSQL were mentioned. 
Let's not forget Firebird.
