Maybe. > If yes, then is there any plan for dblinq to be included in mono. DbLinq is included in mono 2.6+, but ONLY to implement System.Data.Linq.dll. This means that you're limited to the System.Data.Linq API, and not any DbLinq extensions. The theory was that you could still get Mono's System.Data.Linq to communicate with non-SQL Server databases by using special parameters in the connection string (e.g. the DbLinqProvider value [0]), but recent bugs indicate that this approach doesn't work with PostgreSQL, as they throw an error on all unrecognized values. Thus, the easier solution is to use DbLinq, unless you need to use SQL Server or SQLite+Mono.Data.Sqlite (as the latter doesn't error out on unrecognized connection string values). If you need to use a DbLinq extended API, then you'll need to use DbLinq anyway. - Jon [0] http://www.jprl.com/Blog/archive/development/mono/2009/Mar-12.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DbLinq" group.
