The ADO.NET 2.0 SqlDataProvider provides a nice set of async methods to
perform database access. Unfortunatly this is the only database provider
that I can find that supports these.

Is anyone aware of an Oracle implementation that provides Begin/End versions
of the Execute Methods? I need a real implementation of this, something
similar to the SqlClient approach - so that callbacks happen on IOCP threads
and threadpool threads aren't sitting blocked in a Wait the entire time a db
operation is pending.

It's somewhat surprising that Microsoft didn't provide this generically in
the ADO.Net infrastructure, but rather grafted it directly into the
SqlDataProvider.
