And this is why the re-linq folks got in touch with me. Having a "standardized"
cross-DB interface to re-linq/etc. would be wonderful. I had suggested
following System.Data.Common.CommandTrees for the standardized interface (as
that's what EF uses), but (sadly) we found that CommandTrees made all the
constructors private/internal. :-(
They also determined that the CommandTrees data structures basically
codified/mirrored SQL Server, e.g. (from private email discussing with the
re-linq folks):

This largely killed my idea of doing much with CommandTrees.

Nothing has changed. :-)

I've sketched out some ideas in the 0.19 release notes:
http://groups.google.com/group/dblinq/browse_frm/thread/8260047816a6a148
See the "What needs work" section, specifically the "Code cleanup: offloading
databases provider support" bullet.

A copy is in mono's codebase, but this is just an occasionally (manually)
synced copy of what's in DbLinq svn.
