John,

Would you have any comments or thoughts on whether ADO.NET have any problems
accessing Oracle 9i tables running on a Linux box using the "Microsoft" .net
managed provider for Oracle? I am assuming not, but it won't be the first
time that I have seriously underestimated the issues involved in such a
project. I have looked at Oracle's .net managed provider and am not happy
with their implementation for our specific use.
