And the libgda hackers don't bother to make their API backwards compatible. My suggestion, don't even include the old libgda depenedencies in your distribution. If OleDb fails, so what, nobody uses it anyways. Another suggestion: add the Obsolete attribute to classes in the OleDb namespace to indicate to people not to use it. Or even better, modify OleDb not to use libgda anymore. Anytime you try to create a class in OleDb, NotImplementedException could be thrown. Or wrap the OleDb provider around the Odbc provider. Modifying OleDb to the latest libgda is a complete waste of time in my opinion. I'm not saying libgda is bad, I just don't see people using OleDb on Mono. For C or C++ programs, I do see value in libgda with glib 2.x or gtk+ 2.x software. I just don't see the point with Mono and C#. Besides, ODBC is the universal data access layer anyways. It is an ISO, ANSI, and IEEE standard. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
