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: http://tinyurl.com/cej2y http://www.mail-archive.com/ibatis-user-cs@incubator.apache.org/msg00352.html 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
