I have been reading some posts on the Firebird-Architect list from 10/2003
regarding 'External "procedural engine" modules' and possible future
directions for hosting the Java VM as a Stored Procedure execution
environment.

Is anyone else interested in hosting the .NET Runtime as an environment for
Stored Procedures and Triggers?  Has anyone considered how much of the
existing C# code can be reused for such a project?  I assume that part of it
will have to be a managed C++ wrapper of some sort that hosts the runtime in
the FB engine, but I have not looked into the details yet.  I expect it will
be a Win specific build of FB (perhaps post FB 1.5 after it is RC is done)
since I'm not sure if Mono:: is ready to be hosted like this yet on linux.
I'm relatively new to Firebird and have not examined its internal design a
lot, but I am not new to programming and could brush up my C++ skills of old
if time allowed.

Is this the right time to lay the groundwork for this design as you decide
how to arrange the assemblies and namespaces?  Or am I getting way ahead of
myself?

Sincerely,
Wendell Wilkie
