    Base class for provider-specific DataSet components.

    Example
    This sample shows how to use DbDataSet. The routine accepts DbDataSet-compatible object and connection string. After Devart.Data.SqlServer.SqlDataTables were created and populated, they were added to DataTableCollection of DbDataSet, and DataRelation was created to link tables.
    pubic void FillDataSet(DbDataSet dataSet, string connStr) {
            // retrieving data from DEPT table
            SqlDataTable dept = new SqlDataTable("select * from dept", connStr);
            dept.FetchAll = true;
            dept.Active = true;
          
            // retrieving data from EMP table
            SqlDataTable emp = new SqlDataTable("select * from emp", connStr);
            emp.FetchAll = true;
            emp.Active = true;
    
            // adding data tables to SqlDataSet
            dataSet.Tables.Add(dept);
            dataSet.Tables.Add(emp);
    
            // linking tables to allow navigation from parent table rows
            // to corresponding child table rows
            DataColumn parentColumn = dataSet.Tables["DEPT"].Columns["DEPTNO"];
            DataColumn childColumn = dataSet.Tables["EMP"].Columns["DEPTNO"];
            DataRelation relation =        new System.Data.DataRelation("DeptsEmps",
                    parentColumn, childColumn);
            dataSet.Relations.Add(relation);
    }
    Public Sub FillDataSet(ByRef dataSet As DbDataSet, ByVal connStr As String)
            ' retrieving data from DEPT table
            Dim dept As New SqlDataTable("select * from dept", connStr)
            dept.FetchAll = True
            dept.Active = True
    
            ' retrieving data from EMP table
            Dim emp As New SqlDataTable("select * from emp", connStr)
            emp.FetchAll = True
            emp.Active = True
    
            ' adding data tables to SqlDataSet
            dataSet.Tables.Add(dept)
            dataSet.Tables.Add(emp)
    
            ' linking tables to allow navigation from parent table rows
            ' to corresponding child table rows
            Dim parentColumn As DataColumn = dataSet.Tables("DEPT").Columns("DEPTNO")
            Dim childColumn As DataColumn = dataSet.Tables("EMP").Columns("DEPTNO")
            Dim relation As New System.Data.DataRelation("DeptsEmps", parentColumn, childColumn)
            dataSet.Relations.Add(relation)
    End Sub
