Oracle Upgrades, Expands .NET Offerings

Oracle is giving its .NET tools an upgrade and adding a new one to the portfolio. The database giant today released beta versions of free tools intended to provide Visual Studio developers improved access to the Oracle 10g database. The betas were released at Microsoft's TechEd conference in Orlando, where Oracle is also providing a demo. The upgraded tools include Oracle Data Provider for .NET, known as ODP.NET, and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio.NET. The tools have some capabilities that take advantage of the company's forthcoming Oracle 11g database, which is expected to be released by year's end.
