Hi, Ron

Completely outside my experience. I asked my favorite database expert, and
she said she isn't aware of any major issues. You'd be better off asking
that question down one level in the adonet forum.

| 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.
