I've seen this posting a few times and I don't understand that phrase "($,
use at your own risk)" here. Each of these providers is supported by the
company that publishes them, i.e. they are not open source or unsupported.
With Microsoft and Oracle, those companies officially support the providers,
but the .NET data provider is not (by any means) their main product. I don't
know that much about Core Labs, but DataDirect is the company that has made
OLE DB, ODBC, JDBC and now .NET data providers "forever", for multiple data
sources. And these are their main product. So "use at your own risk" seems a
bit severe. OTOH, the last two are indeed cost items.
Hope this helps,
