I looked at the decompiled code and found line-for-line matches in their
obfuscated base classes.  Down to the error messages in sqlite3.Prepare()
that implements my custom TYPES preprocessor command.  They've clearly made
a lot of changes, but it's also clear their launching pad was
System.Data.SQLite.

Robert,

I looked at CoreLab's provider recently and didn't get the impression that
they used your code at all.  It's separate DLL's, very different classes, is
missing some functionality that you provide (like custom functions written
in .NET) but has other functionality (like robust connection pooling).  Also
the interop is very different and it uses three dll's, one of which they
install to system32 (sucks).

We were interested in their product precisely because it is commercial and
thus includes support.  Lack of custom functions is a deal breaker
though--we use them extensively.


Richard,

CoreLab's product is commercial.  Did you try asking their support?

In any case, if you're considering a switch to Mono in the future than I'd
highly recommend Robert's provider which we use and is very well written and
is included with Mono (with some alterations).
