These providers have - been created and are actively developed by Tim Coleman. - - * Since Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server databases both - use the TDS protocol for data access, and other implementations - of TDS (FreeTDS and jTDS) have included support for multiple - versions of the TDS, we have decided to do the same. - - * The TdsClient ADO.NET provider will be Mono's first provider - written completely in C# without any dependencies except - the usual suspects: corlib.dll, System.dll, and System.Xml.dll. - </ul> - -* New ADO.NET Providers - -<p>There will be three ADO.NET providers that will use TDS. - - <ol> - <li><p>Mono.Data.SybaseClient namepace and assembly will - hold the ADO.NET provider for Sybase SQL Server database. - This provider uses TDS version 5.0 which - can only be used with Sybase databases. - - <li><p>System.Data.SqlClient namespace and System.Data assembly - will hold the ADO.NET provider - for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000 databases. This provider is to be - compatible with SqlClient in Microsoft .NET and uses TDS version 7.0 - which only supports Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000. - There is TDS version 8.0 - which we will need to support as well, but it is used for - Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases. - - <li><p>Mono.Data.TdsClient namespace and assembly is a generic - provider for older TDS databases. This provider will default to - using TDS version 4.2 which can be used by older Sybase and - Microsoft SQL Server databases. - </ol> - -* Building The New Providers - - <p> All three providers will use common internal code - at Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal. Any classes in - Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal will have the internal - keyword and will be built with the assembly of that provider. - <ol> - <li><p>SqlClient will build its assembly System.Data using files - from System.Data, System.Data.SqlClient, System.Data.SqlTypes, - System.Data.Common, and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal. - - <p>SqlClient - will only reference the usual - suspects: corlib.dll, System.dll, and System.Xml.dll. SqlClient will be - a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal, but provide specific functionality to - Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000 databases. - - <p>SqlClient build example: - -<pre> - mcs -target:library -out:System.Data.dll \ - System.Data.SqlClient/*.cs \ - ..\Mono.Data.TdsClient\Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs \ - [any other classes in System.Data assembly...] \ - -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll -</pre> - - <li><p>SybaseClient will build its assembly Mono.Data.SybaseClient using - files from Mono.Data.SybaseClient and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal. - SybaseClient will reference - the usual suspects plus System.Data.dll SybaseClient will - be a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal, but provide specific - functionality to Sybase. - - <p>SybaseClient build example: - -<pre> - mcs -target:library -out:Mono.Data.SybaseClient.dll \ - Mono.Data.SybaseClient\*.cs \ - ..\Mono.Data.TdsClient\Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs - -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll -r System.Data.dll -</pre> - - <li><p>TdsClient will build its assembly Mono.Data.TdsClient - using files from Mono.Data.TdsClient - and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal. TdsClient will reference the - usual suspects plus System.Data.dll TdsClient is a wrapper - provider around TdsClient.Internal used for generic - unit tests. TdsClient will a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal - as a generic TDS provider - and allow TDS configuration options not exposed in SqlClient - nor SybaseClient, such as, TdsVersion will be exposed in TdsClient - but not in SqlClient nor SybaseClient. - - <p>TdsClient build example: - -<pre> -mcs -target:library -out:Mono.Data.TdsClient.dll \ - Mono.Data.TdsClient\*.cs \ - Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs \ - -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll -r System.Data.dll -</pre> - </ol> - -* Classes in Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal will: - - <ul> - <li>use the internal keyword to prevent exposing these classes - to the System.Data.dll assembly. - - <li> implement the ADO.NET interfaces just like any other ADO.NET provider, such as, - IDbConnection, IDbCommand, IDataReader, IDataRecord, IDataAdapter, etc... - - <li> be sealed just like other providers - - <li> provide features to be directly used by the SqlClient and SybaseClient - providers, such - as, setting the default TDS version: SqlClient to 7.0 and SybaseClient - to 5.0 and TdsClient to 4.2. - - <li> be written completely in C# or IL assembly language (if need be). - - <li> implement the TDS protocol version 4.2, 5.0, 7.0, and 8.0. This - is where most of the - work will take place. - - <li> be an internal ADO.NET provider to the public ADO.NET providers: - System.Data.SqlClient, Mono.Data.SybaseClient, and Mono.Data.TdsClient. - </ul> - -* Implementation Details of the TDS Protocol - - <ul> - * will be implemented in pure C# from scratch - - * will reside in Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal - - * will use FreeTDS and jTDS as rerferences. - </ul> - -* More Information - - <ul> - * <a href="http://www.freetds.org/">FreeTDS</a> is C API that implements - the TDS protocol. Has libraries for tds, ctlib, and dblib. It builds - and runs on Windows, Linux, and other platforms. FreeTDS provides - data access to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. - - * <a href="http://jtds.sf.net/">jTDS</a> is a 100% Java JDBC provider - for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. - - * <a href="http://www.freetds.org/tds.html">TDS Protocol</a> - </ul> - -* Contribute - - <p>Anybody willing to help?
