Package: libmono-data1.0-cil (2.4.2.3+dfsg-3)

Mono.Data.* libraries (for CLI 1.0)

Mono is a platform for running and developing applications based on the ECMA/ISO Standards. Mono is an open source effort led by Novell. Mono provides a complete CLR (Common Language Runtime) including compiler and runtime, which can produce and execute CIL (Common Intermediate Language) bytecode (aka assemblies), and a class library.

This package contains various Mono.Data.* libraries for CLI 1.0 that allow to use different TDS-based databases:

 - Mono.Data
 - Mono.Data.TdsClient:
   Generic TDS provider (TDS 4.2 by default) for older versions of Sybase and
   Microsoft SQL Servers.
 - Mono.Data.SybaseClient:
   Provider for Sybase SQL Servers (TDS 5.0)

If you are looking for a current Microsoft SQL Server library then you want to check the libmono-system-data1.0-cil package which contains System.Data.SqlClient.
