Release candidate of .Net Provider for OleDb

November 22, 2013 Andrew Merkulov Leave a comment

We are pleased to announce the release candidate of our .NET Provider for OleDb.

Now you can use 200% of the ADO.Net power in your projects for Firebird and Interbase:

Read sets via OleDbDataReader and change them simultaneously (MARS technology).
Use nested transactions, savepoints and distributed transactions within the TransactionScope.
Execute several select, update and insert queries with parameters(!) within only one command OleDbCommand.
Work with absolutely all types of data, including arrays and even Interbase Guid.
And yes, now after you have set the command text you don’t need to manually add parameters to the query. Everything is done automatically and on the fly.

Dozens of new options for Firebird and .NET Framework

June 8, 2012 Andrew Merkulov

Hey!

If you have ever worked with Firebird or Interbase using the standard .NET provider for OLE DB (System.Data.OleDb), you will have likely encountered issues like this:

The necessity to add ALL parameters manually.
Even though the OLE DB provider supports parameter generation for commands, the .NET provider doesn’t use it, so you as the programmer must do that work on your own.
The lack of support for named parameters. Although they actually exist, using them in reality requires a whole set of complex manipulations (the steps needed to add a parameter to a collection, etc.).
The impossibility of using multiple DataReader objects at the same time (Multiple Active Result Sets).
No execution of SQL scripts which contain several SQL expressions per command.

This list of difficulties a .NET developer has to deal with is far from complete.

Now it’s all different in a fundamentally new ADO.NET Data Provider for OLE DB
