[Mono-devel-list] Managed implementation of OracleClient?

[Jörg Rosenkranz]

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for your answers.

The different options:
1. The provider from DataDirect Technologies looks promising
   but licence prices are really high.
2. OleDb -> No handling of (B)LOBs (IDataReader.GetBytes/GetChars)
   We need this in our app.
3. ODBC -> Same problem as OleDb.

In your other mail you wrote about similar problems with WineLib.
I haven't found any solution other than patching WineLib to use
the correct PThreads implementation. This is no option for OCI
because there are no sources for this.

Joerg.
