[gentle-devel] OracleODP provider support added

[Andreas S. <and...@im...>]

Hi all,

i have just commited the last changes for Oracle ODP provider support in Gentle. The provider is developed by Oracle and can be downloaded under the following url:

http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/windows/odpnet/utilsoft.html

The download is about 82 MB (Because the complete Oracle Installer is included).
i have added the provider dll's to the lib folder but i haven't tested if a reference to the library is enough, because in my installation the dll's are placed in the GAC also. 
I'm afraid that it must be so because there is an additional policy dll and a config file.

Morten, 
the problem with the SQL for paging was easy to resolve. Originally i did a "select * ...". I have just replaced the "*" by the field list and all test cases where green.
Sometimes the easy solutions are hard to find. Here in germany we have a proverb which is translated like "he is not be able to see the wood for the trees" :-)

Regards
Andreas
