Entity Framework and Oracle?

David Sceppa posted a list of companies/organisations that plan to release providers for Entity Framework within 3 months of the final release... Notice how Oracle isn't on that list? Apparantly there are 2 other companies that will be providing connectivity to Oracle databases, but i do find it kinda weird that Oracle doesn't seem to support this...

    I think Oracle is kinda betting on that other horse (Java Persistence API with TopLink): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/jpa/index.html

    it’s just weird to me… regardless of how good (or bad) Entity Framework will be, to many people it will be considered the ‘official’ ORM of the .NET world just because it’s from Microsoft. I would imagine Oracle would want to make sure it works great on their database, especially if it turns out to run great on all the other databases.

    Yeah, but in my experience Oracle never has done a great job in being compatible with Microsoft technologies so why would it be different now? Remember when we had to install the debug version of msvc.dll because Oracle released a client that was compiled against that one instead of the production version? They freakin’ released the damn thing without testing it. They fixed it ofcourse, but still…
