* TDS Generic Provider
<ul>
<li>ADO.NET Provider for older Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server databases</li>
<li>Exists in namespace Mono.Data.TdsClient and assembly Mono.Data.TdsClient</li>
<li>Created by Tim Coleman</li>
<li>Used the <a href="http://www.freetds.org/">FreeTDS</a> and
<a href="http://jtds.sourceforge.net/">jTDS</a> projects as resources.</li>
<li>Implemented in 100% C#</li>
<li>Is similar to the Mono.Data.SybaseClient and System.Data.SqlClient providers.</li>
<li>Requires the assembly Mono.Data.Tds.dll which implements the TDS protocol in 100% C#.</li>
<li>Uses TDS Protocol Version 4.2 by default</li>
<li>Bugs with Mono or the data provider should be reported
in Mono's Bugzilla <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/">here</a>. If you
do not have Bugzilla user account, it is free
and easy to
create one <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/createaccount.cgi">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
** Current Status
<ul>
<li>Only builds on Windows currently due to mcs does not support modules and mcs
has problems with code that is internal.</li>
<li>Able to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases</li>
<li>SQL commands can be executed
via ExecuteNonQuery() of a TdsCommand.</li>
<li>SQL aggregates can be executed and a single row and single column
result can be retrieved via ExecuteScalar() of a TdsCommand</li>
<li>SQL queries can be executed via ExecuteReader() and results
can be retrieved via TdsDataReader.</li>
<li>a DataTable with schema info about a result can be gotten via GetSchemaTable()
in a TdsDataReader</li>
<li>Data can be filled in a DataTable in a DataSet via a TdsDataAdapter</li>
</ul>
** Action plan
<ul>
<li>Connection timeouts is being developed now.</li>
<li>TODO</li>
</ul>
** Testing
<ul>
<li>Have a working mono and mcs installed</li>
<li>Have access to a Sybase or Microsoft SQL Server database
or either download it:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/default.asp">Microsoft SQL Server</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.sybase.com/downloads">Sybase</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, make sure
you are using at least Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server 2000</li>
<li>Located at mcs/class/System.Data/Test is a test for System.Data.SqlClient
named SqlTest.cs and you could use this as a basis for your test.</li>
<li>Has a connection string format:
<pre>
Server=hostname;Database=databaseName;User ID=userid;Password=password
</pre>
</li>
<li>The Server part can be used two ways:
<ul>
<li>hostname - "Server=MYHOST"</li>
<li>hostname,port - "Server=MYHOST,1533"</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>C# Example:
<pre>
using System;
using System.Data;
using Mono.Data.TdsClient;
public class Test
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
string connectionString =
"Server=localhost;" +
"Database=pubs;" +
"User ID=myuserid;" +
"Password=mypassword;";
IDbConnection dbcon;
dbcon = new TdsConnection(connectionString);
dbcon.Open();
IDbCommand dbcmd = dbcon.CreateCommand();
string sql =
"SELECT fname, lname " +
"FROM employee";
dbcmd.CommandText = sql;
IDataReader reader = dbcmd.ExecuteReader();
while(reader.Read()) {
string FirstName = (string) reader["fname"];
string LastName = (string) reader["lname"];
Console.WriteLine("Name: " +
FirstName + " " + LastName);
}
// clean up
reader.Close();
reader = null;
dbcmd.Dispose();
dbcmd = null;
dbcon.Close();
dbcon = null;
}
}
</pre>
</li>
<li>Building C# Example:
<ul>
<li>Save the example to a file, such as, TestExample.cs</li>
<li>Build on Linux:
<pre>
mcs TestExample.cs -r System.Data.dll \
-r Mono.Data.TdsClient.dll
</pre>
</li>
<li>Build on Windows via Cygwin:
<pre>
mono C:/cygwin/home/MyHome/mono/install/bin/mcs.exe \
TestExample.cs \
-lib:C:/cygwin/home/MyHome/mono/install/lib \
-r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.TdsClient.dll
</pre>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Running the Example:
<pre>
mono TestExample.exe
</pre>
</li>
</ul>
