! 5. NULLABLETYPES Vs SQLTYPES
! ===============================
! Specific .NET Data Provider types (as System.Data.SqlTypes, System.Data.OracleCient, etc) fit well in the 
! Data Layer: where you are moving data from the Db (with a DataAdapter or with a DataCommand) to the memory 
! (DataSet, variables, Array, etc.) and vice versa. 
! This is because .NET Data Provider types better represent the native Db types (i.e. SqlDateTime have 
! MinValue and MaxValue different from System.DateTime; SqlDecimal can set Scale and Precision while 
! System.Decimal cannot, etc). 
  
! NullableTypes fit well in the Business Layer and in the User Interface Layer because 
! * they are data base agnostic 
! * they are identical to the native .NET types (i.e. NullableDateTime have MinValue and MaxValue equals to 
!   System.DateTime MinValue and MaxValue, etc.) 
! * they work well with .NET Remoting 
! * they work well with .NET Web Services 
! * they have the NullConvertClass that can be used to seamlessly integrate NullableTypes with Windows and 
!   ASP.NET user controls
! * they have the DbNullCOnvert class that converts NullableTypes values to in-memory Db values 
!   (Command Parameters, DataReader values, DataSet column values) and vice versa

! 5. NULLABLETYPES FAQ
! =======================
  
! What about NullableTypes and SqlTypes (or other nullable types provided by the .NET Data Provider, as the 
! structures in System.Data.OracleClient or types in Oracle.DataAccess.Types)?
! What about  NullableTypes and Nullable<T> (Whidbey)?
! 
! Find the answer here:

  and to those MS developers who are on the bright-side and developed the FxCop tool.
  The mono project source code too was a good inspiration, especially mono's SqlTypes implementation.
! Well, nmake and emacs with C# extension by Brad Merrill are great but I have to admit that 
  Visual Studio .NET did his job well.
