Can you go into detail or point me to links about the database problems? I've not heard of this. Are they ditching System.Data entirely or something?

- rogihee 11y agoDatatables are not gonna make 1.0, and I think it is underestimated how much they are still in use: Longread which gives I nice overview: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/1039 https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/1039 DbProviderFactory: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/4571 https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/4571 Schema stuff: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/3423 https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/3423 https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/5024 https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/5024 I don't care that much for schema as I'm not an ORM writer, but I do have used Datables a lot as a convenient data-mangler type for importing legacy data, converting data etc. They may be "dirty", obsolete or whatever but they get the job done.
- MichaelGG 11y agoI read it all. Seems like schema is more-or-less getting taken care of. But I don't get the big problem here. If someone _needs_ DataSet/Table, why don't they just pull in the reference source or Mono? That beats bringing that into the new Core API and avoids bloat. If it turns out it's too critical, put it in 1.1 or something.
- electroly 11y agoMono might work, but the reference source license doesn't permit you to do what you suggest. You can't copy the reference source code into your project and use it. They're very specific about what "reference use" means.
