Allow SqlClient, OleDb, Odbc, and OracleClient providers to be specified 
without needing providers.config file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: IBATISNET-62
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-62
     Project: iBatis for .NET
        Type: Improvement
    Reporter: Ron Grabowski
 Assigned to: Gilles Bayon 
    Priority: Trivial


This is a follow up to my post on the mailing list:

It would be nice if IBatisNet allowed the user to specify one of the 4 built-in 
.Net providers that ship with .Net:

 SqlClient
 OleDb
 Odbc
 OracleClient

without having to have an external providers.config file.

The Data Mapper Guide PDF file talks about the 4 built-in providers in table 
3.5 (page 34) when it describes if their types are supported.

IBatisNet already uses built-in aliases for some things. Page 33 of the Data 
Mapper Guide talks about using resultClass aliases for int, map, hashmap, etc. 
IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration.Cache.CacheModel uses the following aliases:

_cacheControllerAliases.Add("MEMORY","IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration.Cache.Memory.MemoryCacheControler");
_cacheControllerAliases.Add("LRU","IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration.Cache.Lru.LruCacheController");
_cacheControllerAliases.Add("FIFO","IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration.Cache.Fifo.FifoCacheController");

A providers.config file could be embedded into IBatisNet.Common and loaded 
before a providers.config file on the hard drive is loaded. A provider having 
the same name as one of the default providers would overwrite the default 
provider.
