I have to rewrite/extend(with features like connection pooling) portions of the database interace code in a multithreaded, enterprise scale legacy c++ applications. The application interacts with both SQL and ORACLE datbases. I was wondring if ADO.NET can be used instead of the current OLEDB / OCI solution. I am hoping to get some feedback on this- 1. Will it make development easier and 2. How about the performance. Thanks,
