Microsoft halting .Net link to Oracle databases
PC World | at | by Mike
Deferring to other makers, Microsoft will discontinue its own software providing access from Microsoft .Net applications to Oracle databases.
Specifically, the company is deprecating OracleClient, the ADO.Net provider for Oracle shipped as part of the .Net Framework. The decision was made after discussions with customers and partners, said Himanshu Vasishth, program manager for ADO.Net OracleClient at Microsoft, in a blog post this week.
