* OLE DB Provider
- Provides a OleDb-like provider for Mono
using GDA as the data access layer.
- Exists in namespace System.Data.OleDb and assembly System.Data
- Created by Rodrigo Moya
- LibGDA has providers for:
* Current Status
- The OleDb provider is working with libgda (an OLE-DB/ADO data access for Unix).
The C-Sharp bindings to libgda currently work - meaning they can compile, run,
and you can connect to a
PostgreSQL database via libgda via the C-Sharp bindings to libgda.
- Basic
functionality (execution of commands, data retrieval, transactions, etc) are
now working.
- An inital implementation of GetSchemaTable() for
the OleDbDataReader has been checked into cvs. GetSchemaTable() isn't correct for OleDb,
but the foundation is there.
* Action Plan
- Current focus is on filling up the missing pieces (Data adapters
mainly) and schema support.
- We need help building libgda on Windows though. libgda
builds find on linux though.
- Need to make the OleDb provider compatible with the OleDb provider in Microsoft .NET
