Hello Monofolks, I'd like to apologize in advance if this is the inappropriate forum for my question, but I looked at other lists and this seemed to be the best choice. If not, please politely direct me to where I should pose my question.
I'm developing a .Net Web application with C# and I'm currently calling stored procedures on SQL Server. I would *love* to port this to Mono running on FreeBSD, but my problem, of course, is the SQL Server data provider. I'm comfortable with the idea of moving my stored procedures to another Unix-friendly database, but I was wondering if anyone else was doing something similar on a non-commercial-license DB, such as Postgresql or Firebird or whatever, and had any advice or information about their experience or success. I realize that this is really as much of a database question as a Mono question, but I am specifically curious about how the various DB choices interact with Mono's ADO.NET implementation and whether this community thinks I stand a chance of success. My stored procedures, incidentally, are run-of-the-mill, vanilla and boring. I'm not using any intensive SQL, but I'm not crazy about the idea of using MySQL since I'd like to continue development on the SQL Server installation that I have and then simply change the data providers to OleDB providers and only have to port the stored procedures, rather than creating a whole new little framework for, somehow, elegantly encapsulating my SQL statements and calling MySQL that way. Any advice, information would be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance. -------------------------------------------- greg mcclure director, development third stone media 949 719 9678 ph 949 383 8306 fx http://www.thirdstone.net _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
