SByte column types and question marked prefix...

Hi,

I've just used the .NET connector for the first and noticed these two things.

1. TinyInt columns are returned has System.SByte.
Why use a non CLS-compliant type?
It also forces me to have different code for MySQL and SqlServer, as SqlServer returns System.Byte.

2. Parameter names have a question mark prefix.
The SqlClient uses a @ prefix.
The Odbc client with MyODBC uses ?, but no names
Now the MySqlClient uses a ? prefix.
Why not standardize to something?

Anyway, thanks a lot for all the work. The connector is working great, for now... ;-)
Just wanted to add my two cents...
