[Mono-devel-list] Exception using ASP.NET (XSP) and OleDb class

[Rafael Teixeira]

I'm not sure that libgda is available in Windows, so that you could
follow Simon's advice.
Also, to connect to Oracle databases I think it is better to use the
specific provider not OLEDB/odbc.
Mono has an implementation of System.Data.OracleClient.dll (see:
http://www.go-mono.com/oracle.html), but again I'm not sure if it
binds correctly to the Windows' version of the Oracle Client dlls.

Hope it helps,
