In response to my earlier post about database testing, Jason posted a comment directing me to Abstract ADO.NET. This looks like it could be a pretty good project. It certainly is a step in the right direction. They seem to be focused on removing the problem with Exceptions (if you're using SqlConnection then you get SqlException, etc.) and providing a factory for creating connections. Now if they can only solve my CreateDataAdapter problem, we'll be in good shape.

If I have time, I'll add it to their code and send it back to them. We'll see...
