Oracle ODP Support and ODP vs DEVART
876577Jul 19 2011 — edited Aug 23 2011Hello,
I work with some vendor software that uses the ODP driver for it's .net application to talk to oracle. In there next release they are discontinuing ODP support claiming that oracle has chosen to no longer support this driver. The vendor is instead pushing us to use this [ devart|http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracle/] as a work around and they claim this should give us equal or better performance.
My questions are:
1. Is oracle really not supporting the ODP driver in the future (I couldn't find any indication of this on the web)
2. What is the trade of between using the ODP driver or the direct DEVart connection? I would appreciate if you could share your similar experiences with me.
Thanks,
Daxter
