Re: Can you use the OleDb classes for SQL Server?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I have yet to see this work without a lot of compromises. While OLE DB or
ODBC can obfuscate the backend, the code you write to execute and manage the
queries and the structures they return are very different for different
providers. Again, a layered data object approach seems to be a better way to
deal with this issue.

I'm in a situation where the customer has an Oracle DB, and my developing
platform runs a SQL Server DB. Ideally, I'd like to write the code, and
then simply change the connection string at deployment time. So my
question is: can I use the OleDb classes rather than the native SqlClient
classes, to connect to SQL Server, and then later to Oracle?
