Microsoft .NET Data Provider for Oracle
|
|
The recently released new .NET Managed Data Provider for
Oracle databases can dramatically improve the performance of .NET applications
running against Oracle backend databases. The new provider can be
downloaded by customers. The provider is similar to the .NET Managed
Provider for SQL Server in that it extends the .NET Framework and works in
conjunction with ADO.NET. The new provider is easy to use, and is referenced via
the System.Data.OracleClient classes.
