dotConnect Universal Standard

dotConnect Universal is a database data provider for .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework. It offers support for SQL Server, Microsoft Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, InterBase, DB2, and Firebird. However, it's also possible for the tool to be accessed by other servers via ODBC, ADO.NET and OLE DB providers.
It solely relies on ADO.NET technology, and those familiarized with the SQL Server or OLE DB .NET data provider should have no trouble in using it. The key feature of dotConnect Universal is represented by the fact that it can facilitate access to multiple database servers at the same code.
Furthermore, with the help of this utility, it's no longer necessary to write conditional code for various providers or to turn to ADO.NET interfaces. Full support is provided for design-time development and IDE integration, in order to speed up development time.
Before running the setup file, make sure that .NET Framework is installed on the PC or it won't work. In addition to the obligatory runtime assemblies, the setup package contains samples and help documentation. It's also possible to prevent the tool from installing assemblies in the GAC. Providers for Firebird, MySQL, Oracle, Oracle client, PostgreSQL and SQLite are copied to the hard drive after installation.
