what's the point of using subsonic's active record ?

Question

Hi there!

I can't understand if we have linq to sql is there any benefits of using subsonic's active record because thay are similar (table=class).

and sorry for offtop but does it support Oracle or DB2?

Thanks!

Here's a couple comparisons/discussions:

For your other question about database support, see:

Oracle support for SubSonic 3 is slated for SubSonic 3.1, which is currently a couple months away. See the discussion in the SubSonic Google groups for the latest development news:
