Konstantin,

Good question, but I don't know the answer.
Considering definition of FdoIReader and FdoISQLDataReader, the latter
should be a subtype of the former:
- public interface of both classes is the same
- both are abstract classes

One of potential benefits of such interitance, would be
substitutability in terms of Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP).
