Hey Tim, There is a FreeTDS provider in libgda now.
Developing a SQL Server provider does not require development to be on Windows, but if you have only one computer - it does. I can only develop a Microsoft SQL Server provider on Windows because I only have one computer to run Microsoft SQL Server, Mono, and Windows. I can dual boot between Linux and Windows now, but I can not connect to SQL Server from Linux since SQL Server does not run on Linux. Unless, someone is willing to provide a public SQL Server database through the internet. Great! I'm glad you're back on Mono ADO.NET.

Unfortunately, I ran out of time :). I would like to help create a provider for FreeTDS in mono. I'm not sure that going through libgda is the correct approach though. I do have Windows and Microsoft SQL Server, however I don't see why developing a SQL Server provider requires development to be done on Windows. It would require that the developer have SQL Server available on a network, but that's all. I haven't looked at the FreeTDS source in a while, so I don't know how difficult it would be to implement a native provider in C#. Since I'm trying to get back into mono development, I would be interested in helping out. -- Tim Coleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [43.28 N 80.31 W] BMath, Honours Combinatorics and Optimization, University of Waterloo "Under capitalism, man exploits man.
