No.  We're saying:

Specifically:

        Functionality missing from System.Data.dll consists of:
        
              * Anything requiring System.CodeDom (e.g.
                System.Data.TypedDataSetGenerator)
              * XML config file support (e.g.
                System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler)
              * System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories (depends on XML
                config file support)
              * System.Data.OleDb
              * System.Data.Odbc
              * The System.EnterpriseServices.dll dependency was removed
                from System.Data.dll, resulting in the removal of the
                SqlConnection.EnlistDistributedTransaction(ITransaction)
                method.

Notice that OleDb is listed as missing.

System.Data.SqlClient, meanwhile, IS in there.

Mono's OleDb support involves using native libraries which aren't
present on iPhoneOS, specifically libgda-2.  I don't think there is much
point to porting this library...
