Summary: System.Data.OleDb P/Invokes an obsolete library
Product: Mono: Class Libraries
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86-64
OS/Version: Ubuntu
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Sys.Data
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mcs/class/System.Data/System.Data.OleDb/libgda.cs contains 63 P/Invokes into
version 2 of the Gnome Data Access library, which is largely unmaintained & no
longer used, compared to the current GDA3 or upcoming GDA4.
This presents a problem to packagers, as we're forced to carry the obsolete
library almost exclusively to support System.Data. In the case of Ubuntu, it's
the cause of some unpleasant deviations from Debian, which would no longer be
required if a currently applicable library were used instead.

63
It would be extremely useful if this porting work were done by late February,
which is the predicted time for feature freeze in the stable Ubuntu release
after next (9.04).
