Oracle joins Microsoft's developer program
|
CNet notices that Oracle has joined Microsoft's developer program. This means that DBMS will integrate aa lor smoothelly with Visual Studio.
This will augment the programming efficiency of a large number of developer currently working with .net/Oracle DBs allowing to debug database applications under Visual Studio.
This agreement, along with some other unsual cooperation agreements for Microsoft with other main companies (SAP, Sun, etc.) comes to me as a surprise because Microsoft's SQL Server is a competitor of Oracles's Xi RDBMS and has gained some of it's market in the last years.
It is however very good news as it seems to symbolize a greater focus for integration of Microsoft's part.
