What Are Advantages And Disadvantages Of Microsoft-provided Data Provider Classes In Ado.net?

Answer»

SQLServer.NET data provider is high-speed and robust, but requires SQL Server license purchased from Microsoft. OLE-DB.NET is universal for ACCESSING other sources, like Oracle, DB2, Microsoft Access and INFORMIX, but it is a .NET layer on top of OLE layer, so not the fastest thing in the world. ODBC.NET is a DEPRECATED layer PROVIDED for backward compatibility to ODBC engines.
