   Hi,   
      
   We are a small company (2 developers, 6 other people) and develop "out of   
   the box" applications for local government. Our databaseplatform is Oracle.   
   We will stick with Oracle since all out customers will stick with Oracle. We   
   develop in Borland Delphi (with DOA-components) and in Borland JBuilder   
   (with JDBC). We are now considering to change our main development platform   
   from Delphi to Microsoft Visual Studio.   
      
   Things that worry me:   
   Does Visual Studio always asume you are working with MSSQL.   
   Will we have to use ODBC.   
   Can you keep deploying simple. (I want to have one exe that can run from a   
   CD)   
      
   Can anyone please share their experience with developing in Visual Studio   
   towards Oracle databases. And what version (Professional, Enterprise or   
   Architect) do you recommend. And should I worry about totally different   
   things?   
      
      
   Thx
