(Page 1 of 5 )
If you're curious about the Oracle Developer Tools Beta (ODT) and how well it works with the Visual Studio 2003 IDE, this article gets you off to a reasonable start. It gives you a basic description of some of the product's features and how they work.
Introduction
In February 2006, Oracle released the Oracle Developer Tools Beta (ODT) for Visual Studio .NET to be used in conjunction with the Oracle 10G Express Edition. Like Oracle 10G XE, this is a junior version of the same product used with the larger databases. For details follow the Oracle link in the next paragraph. This product works with Visual Studio 2003 (.NET FrameWork 1.1) but will not work with VS 2005. This basic article describes only some of the features of this product when used with Visual Studio 2003 IDE.

The ODT may be downloaded from this Oracle link. After the download it can be installed very easily as shown. When the executable is clicked the InstallShield installer starts installing. Here is the first screen.
