Re: oracle linux

I think that it is fair to say that there are no good books out on
programming against Oracle using .Net. I'm not aware of any on ADO
either :(.

That said there are a number of forums/fora? on OTN that dealing with
windows programming. The OLEDB drivers - and especially the ODP.Net
provider from Oracle also come with sample code.

My pet gripe is that - probably because everyone in that environment
learns to code for MSSQL - developers don't have a clue about bind
variable usage. I believe that this is common in the brave new Java
world as well.
