Telerik's OpenAccess ORM and DevArt's dotConnect for Oracle

Question

Has anyone tried to connect to an Oracle DB using DevArt's dotConnect data provider among with OpenAccess ?

OpenAccess works excellent with Oracle.DataAccess.Client, but how about dotConnect?

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Answer 1

No, the Devart dotConnect driver is not currently supported by OpenAccess. Why would you use the dot connector instead of the Oracle.DataAccess.Client anyway?

Answer 2

Have you had any sucess with this? I also have just bought Devart's dotConnect and I am looking to use Telerik's Open ORM, but before I go and buy the Telerik pack I would like to know if this can be achieved.

Also dotConnect is far better than using ODP.Net or Oracle.DataAccess, the direct access gives you a completely client free way of access the database over TCP/IP and if you go through the client (which you can still do with dotConnect) you get a lot more functionality and entity framework support that just isn't available with ODP.Net or Oracle.DataAccess.

Cheers,
