Sweet, looks like a new set of tools for working with Oracle in .NET. Too bad its beta.

Oracle with .NET and Windows

I am glad to see that Oracle is supporting the .NET framework. Well, Oracle has been supported for a long time, but its good to see more support coming directly from Oracle.

They have a statement of direction with Vista: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/windows/rdbms/oraclevistasod.htm

They have regional conferences for developers, including a track for .NET developers. Too bad the United States isn't a region for them. Even then, if it wasn't in the southeastern US, I wouldn't go. I guess the good news is at least they are trying to do something. One of my major criticisms of Oracle has been that they don't engage with the developer community much.

They do have a .NET section on their web site. Its at

and they do have a beta 64 bit ODP.NET driver

They have a set of tools that plug into Visual Studio at

Sql Server 2005 more secure than Oracle?

Interesting reading. I'm not a DBA, but I find the discussion very interesting. One thing that I would like to know, and I may have missed it elsewhere, is, who paid for that article? Was this a truly independent article with no one having paid for it? Perhaps I am getting to cynical.
