Re: MySqlDataReader & DbDataReader

[David Thielen]

Hi;

First off, this is solved with the new 5.0 connector.

As to why, it is used in our product Windward Reports where we need to get back each row one at a time while building up a report. The product has common source between java and J# (.NET) and the datasource interface we have must also work for xml & other data.

So, we could fill a DataTable or DataSet but then we could be holding a ton of data in memory when we only need 1 row at a time.

thanks - dave
