[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the general discussion list for the Npgsql project on Gborg. It's a .NET data provider for PostgreSQL that works with .NET programs written in MS VC++, C# or VB.NET not to mention Mono. Not to be confused with pgsql-general :-) Regards, Dave. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
