Oracle joins Microsoft developer program | |

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. Developers have been using Visual Studio for years to build software that accesses Oracle databases. But "the process of writing code is still too laborious," Kumar said. "We're trying to build integration points so that it is seamless." | ||

baarod - Well we've found Oracle's native drive for .NET is a bit more featureful than the MS one. It has a considerable amount of overhead to the install, though which is problematic.
But we've always ran into bizarre issues with the interaction between these two companies. It was part of the motivation for moving to Sql Server. |

#4: Yeah, I was just going to say that we've been playing with the Oracle driver for .NET and have been pleasantly suprised.
It's amazing, nay unbelieveable that a company that produces such horrible, attrocious, unmaintainable, unsupportable, and downright broken software can produce something so consistent and logical such as their .NET driver. It's a drop-in code-wise to replace the MS oracle driver with the Oracle one. No code changes (syntactically speaking) are required for most basic data access since the classes are named identically. I have to believe that either a.) Oracle broke stride and hired smart people for once or b.) They contracted out their .NET development to a company that has a clue. |
