Data loading and licensing questions

preisl · Post by **preisl** » Mon 25 Dec 2006 14:37

Hello,

I'm currently evaluating the UniDirect.Net provider, however, there are a couple of questions

- the unidirect enterprise provider contains the oradirect.net driver, is this one identical to the standalone oradirect.net driver ?
- the oradirect driver does include a OracleLoader class, but there is no UniLoader class, will it be available in future versions ?
- the ODP.Net provider supports arrays as values for the OracleParameter class, the Uniparameter only supports scalar values, will that be available in future versions ?

In general, is there some possibility, to load lots of data in a database (preferable oracle) with Uni* classes ?

thanks & best regards & merry christmas !

Martin

No, they are not identical. UniDirect .NET has less functionality than standalone OraDirect .NET.

- the oradirect driver does include a OracleLoader class, but there is no UniLoader class, will it be available in future versions ?

We will consider the possibility of adding OracleLoader in the future major versions. But it won't be soon.

- the ODP.Net provider supports arrays as values for the OracleParameter class, the Uniparameter only supports scalar values, will that be available in future versions ?

This is supported in OraDirect .NET. Maybe we will support this in Unidirect .NET as well in future.
