Dim schema As DataTable = dbc.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns,
New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, "textitem", Nothing})

schema.rows(i)("description") ' this is always dbnull, even for the columns
that i set the description in SQL server enterprise manager.  i can get the
data type and column names fine, but description doesnt seem to work.  i
tried using GetSchemaTable but it doesnt even have a description column.  how
do i get the description?

Is this possible
does Ado.Net 2.0 have bulk insert functionality?
