database enumerator like datasource enumerator

Hi;

DbProviderFactory.CreateDataSourceEnumerator() creates a list of servers it
can find and does so for all ADO clients (yes it's only implemented for
SqlServer at present).

Is there a similiar client independent method of getting all databases on a
server?

Also, any chance this (both enum sources and databases) is going to get
implemented for Oracle, DB2, and MySql?

Hi dave,

As far as I know, currently there is no such data source enumerators for
other databases in .NET framework. You can try to search for some 3rd-party
components that can achieve this.

I was afraid of that...

How about the other part:
