Hi Carlos, Correct me if I am wrong, but... The new ADO in framework 2 allows use of different databases with the same code using DbProviderFactory (except for database specific SQL). When I would make use of FbDbType it would be database specific, in this case Firebird specific. Reason why one should use System.Data.DbType which is universal. This way I previously accessed databases like sqlite, mysql and mssql using DbProviderFactory without any changes in the code.
