[Mono-dev] Oracle ADO.NET Provider in Mono - Oracle White Paper about OCI

[Daniel Morgan]

At Oracle Technology Network, Oracle has a white paper
entitled:

Building High Performance Drivers 
For Oracle Database 11g 
OCI Tips and Techniques

http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/pdf/building-best-drivers.v9.pdf

This could help us create a better ADO.NET for Oracle
on Mono.  If there are limitations to the published
API of System.Data.OracleClient, we could create our
own which works like Oracle.DataAccess.

Also, is there any need to continue to support 8i? 
Should we move on to only supporting 9iR2 and above?
