Oracle joins Microsoft developer program
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Thursday said that Oracle has pledged to make its database software work better with Microsoft's development tools. The companies said that Oracle has joined Microsoft's Visual Studio partner program and that later this year it will release a free software download for Microsoft's Visual Studio .Net 2003 development tools.
The software download will make it easier to write Windows-based applications that access data stored in an Oracle database, said Prem Kumar, a vice president in Oracle's server technology division.
