I have just opened DAAB code and saw that, incredibly alll functions return
only Sql objects. That means this App Block does not deal with Oracle or even
other DB like MySQL. I dont understand who would use this...

THe enterprise library has support for most major dbs.  Look at the Data
portion of the enterprise library.

The DAAB does indeed support Oracle as well as SQL Server, so I'm not sure
what it is you are looking at. The original EntLib DAAB also supported DB2
(but not in the 2.0 version IIRC).

He is looking at the DAAB, not the EntLib version of the block, which was
set for SQL only.

Ah, that makes more sense! Thanks, Gregory!  :)

Here is the VB version of OracleHelper, if you still need it:

People who use SQL Server?

Actually, it is quite easy to extend the block for other databases. Copy,
change objects and roll. Now, I would agree the DAAB is not a great piece of
software, but for other reasons than only one database.

The new Enterprise library is a better implementation (factory/provider type
of pattern).
