Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Please remove exception in ConnectionTimeout

[<car...@te...>]

Hello:

>In the database project that I've previously mention I had to write a persistance layer that wraps the Firebird.NET provider.  The reason is that I can write to my persistance layer for both Firebird and possibly SQLServer and other DB's.  A situation could arise whereby data could be obtained from disparate databases.

>The problem is that SQLServer provider supports ConnectionTimeout and the Firebird provider throws an exception.  My request is that ConnectionTimeout rather than throw a runtime exeception to return 0 and use an Assert instead.

>Once again I modified the provider to return 0 causing no behavioral changes to the provider but now my layer can work polymorphically.

Do you mean FbCommand.CommandTimeout ?? I'm not going to change that,
at least for now, in my opinion that will give the false impression that
it's supported and that it works, and it fact if you are going to use
the CommandTimeout property probably you will be trying to call Cancel
that will raise an NotSupported exception as well.

I think the best for you will be to handle the NotSupported exception
(other providers may throw it too)


Opinions ??
