Oracle is once again sponsoring Microsoft Tech·Ed (happening now through June 13 in Orlando, FL). We hope to see you there!

Microsoft has split the convention into two parts this year - a Developer week (happening right now), and an IT week (next week). Oracle will be present during both weeks, with a “Birds of a Feather” (BOF) session being hosted by Alex Keh (Oracle) tomorrow, and we’ll have a large presence in the Expo hall next week during the IT part of the show. If you are in Orlando right now for Developer Week, I highly recommend you drop by the .NET BOF session as they have been very lively and informative and fun in past years! For those of you attending the IT show, please drop by our demo booth to get your questions answered and see your own personal demo of Oracle technologies. We’ll also have a BOF session during IT week entitled “Managing a Mix of Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server Databases”

Here are the details:

Download Oracle Database 11g on Windows!

We’ll be talking about Windows specific 11g new features at Oracle OpenWorld sessions so reserve your seat today!

Summary: Seats are filling up fast for Oracle OpenWorld .NET and Windows sessions, so use Schedule Builder and reserve a seat for yourself today!

Oracle OpenWorld will be once again taking over the city of San Francisco from November 11-15. It promises to be a truly amazing experience with over 1,600 sessions covering the full breadth of Oracle’s offerings.

As you may recall, last year at OpenWorld we introduced “Oracle Develop”, a special 2 day intensive track of content created specifically for the Oracle developer - including a .NET developer track. Well, it turned out to be so tremendously popular in San Francisco that we took the Oracle Develop show on the road to Korea, China, India, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the UK. Now we are back in San Francisco, having learned a lot about what you want in your sessions and we are offering even more of the good stuff that developers can use on their job!

This years Oracle Develop .NET track will provide comprehensive coverage of Oracle’s .NET technologies including new Oracle Database 11g features, introductory material, and deep dive content. Oracle Develop is perfect for all levels of Oracle on .NET developers, from beginner to advanced. In addition to sessions we also have a .NET Hands on Lab, which lets you get your hands dirty and take Visual Studio for a joyride! You can attend Oracle Develop if you register for the full conference badge of course, but you could also sign up specifically for Oracle Develop.

Once you register, I strongly urge you to use Schedule Builder to reserve seats in the sessions you are most interested in. I recommend doing so as many of our .NET and Windows sessions look like they are getting close to capacity.

If you can’t make it to Oracle Develop content this year, please visit us in the Exhibition Hall (in the database area) for your own personalized demo of our latest features from an Oracle expert.

A major beta release is available now for ODP.NET as well as Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET. This 11g beta release also marks the first release of a new product, Oracle Providers for ASP.NET. I’ve written a new white paper (with lots of screen shots) that illustrates the new Visual Studio enhancements. Keep an eye on this blog in the weeks ahead as I will be writing articles explaining how to take advantage of some of the new features such as ASP.NET code generation and User-Defined Type (UDT) support…

We also have some new Oracle by Example walkthroughs that can help get you started:
Oracle by Example: Building ASP.NET Web Applications with ODT
Oracle by Example: Building .NET Applications Using ODT

Here’s a summary of the new features:

Sessions:

We have a “Bird of a Feather” session, which is not a formal presentation, but more of a discussion with Oracle staffers and your fellow Oracle and .NET developers and DBAs. Come prepared with questions and bring your laptop if you feel like turning it into an installfest!

BOF01: Using Oracle with .NET
Monday, June 4, 2007 at 10:30 AM

See you in Orlando!

Coming right on the heels of Friday’s release of Oracle Database for Windows Vista, we now have released ODAC 10.2.0.2.21 which is certified for Vista. You can download it here. This release is key because the Oracle Database on Vista downloads announced on Friday only include ODP.NET for .NET 1.x. If you need ODP.NET for .NET 2.x on Windows Vista, or any other of the ODAC products, you will need to download this. It includes all of the ODAC products, including ODP.NET and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET packaged up with a new version of the Oracle installer that is Vista friendly. Only the installer has been upgraded, not the individual ODAC products, so if you are using ODAC 10.2.0.2.20 on another Windows platform, you don’t need to upgrade.

The download includes:
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET 2003 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2005 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Data Provider for .NET 1.x 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Data Provider for .NET 2.0 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Database Extensions for .NET 2.0 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Database Extensions for .NET 1.x 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Provider for OLE DB 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Objects for OLE 10.2.0.2.20
Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server 10.2.0.1.0

The 32-bit Oracle Database 10g Release 2 for Windows Vista (v. 10.2.0.3) is now available for download! It supports Vista Business, Ultimate and Enterprise Edition.

Developers who just need the 32-bit Oracle Client for Vista can download it at that same link. This client release is much easier to install than the previous “start at 10.2.0.1 and patch up to 10.2.0.3″ method that I blogged about earlier, and it doesn’t require that you have access to a Metalink account (to get the patches) if you just want to evaluate the software.

And as I mentioned in that prior blog entry, Oracle Database Express Edition has been certified on Vista for some time now.

Some information about Oracle on 64-bit Windows Vista can be found at the Oracle Database on Windows Vista: Statement of Direction.

Happy installing!
