The only problem with this statement is that, the "database" still provides
this functionality (keyset, dynamic, forwardonly, etc) and is available to
anyone NOT using .NET, they only removed it from the .NET language.

So Microsoft did not remove anything, they just didn't add it to .NET.

So my point would be...if using it in a certain way causes you problems,
then change it to something that is more suitable. You should be given
access to it if you need, it shouldn't have been left out of .NET just
because "some" developers were having problems. That was the beauty of
OLEDB, you had other options to choose from if the one you were using wasn't
working for you.

The way it stands now you have no options.
