Microsoft deprecating Oracle client in Dot Net 4 (www.vistadb.net)

published 7 months, 24 days ago, submitted by vistadbvistadb(845) 7 months, 24 days ago

Microsoft has announced through a blog that the ADO.NET 4 spec will mark the Oracle client as deprecated with plans for removal. They are also recommending that users go to a third party Oracle provider. Stop Helping the Competition? Wow, this will mark the first time an ADO.NET provider has been removed from the .Net framework. Is this a case of Microsoft trimming the fat, or pushing Oracle? I always thought it a bit of a free ride that Microsoft was helping Oracle by building their provider for them...

Thanks for posting. I work with DataDirect Technologies, and if you’re skeptical about Microsoft’s announcement you might consider Connect for ADO.NET from DataDirect Technologies. Connect for ADO.NET offers a client-less solution for .NET platforms –free from OracleClient or so called Instant Client. Go grab a copy of our install and check out what a true pedigree, 100% managed provider, can offer while supporting the latest .NET technologies such as the ADO.NET Entity Framework provider for Oracle – http://blogs.datadirect.com/category/net-connections

Thanks,
Mike
