Hi George, outside of the "standard 3", what kind of info are you looking for? : - UO.NET : Seems to me to be a wrapper around UO. Not 100% managed code, no connection pooling, missing some features, really not a big deal - but free. Someone please correct me if this perception is incorrect, I haven't looked that deeply into this. - PDP.NET : First kid on the block, great software, Microsoft certified. Faces some obstacles like price/TCO, doesn't have everything a relational data provider has but for Pick people it's generally good enough, U2 sites may be a little iffy about doing business with Raining Data. Supports U2 and D3 only. - mv.NET : Recent contender, great software, ongoing intense development, better price than PDP.NET, not as complicated as PDP but same-to-more features. Supports all MV products, even some legacy platforms. All three can be used with a Unidata PE environment at home. However there is not yet a free/home use version of the commercial offerings. All three can be used from C#, VB.NET, or other .NET languages. (COBOL or FORTRAN access to U2 anyone?) I'll be happy to share any info I can. In case there is a question of bias, I don't particularly care what products people use to connect to their MV DBMS. Nebula R&D will soon offer sales and development services for both PDP.NET _and_ mv.NET.
