Oracle Corp. released its Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET into beta last week and plans to release the shipping version in the first half of 2005, said Andy Mendelsohn, Senior Vice President of Database Server Technologies for Oracle, in Wednesday's VSLive! keynote. As a new member of Microsoft's Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program, Oracle is "very committed to the Windows environment," he said.
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET offers features to enhance productivity and allows developers to stay in the VS.NET environment for the entire project lifecycle, said Mendelsohn. Oracle developers now can interact with Oracle servers using the same drag-and-drop capabilities SQL Server developers use inside Visual Studio, as demonstrated by Principal Product Manager Christian Shay.
