I just read this article today about how Microsoft decided to remove the System.Data.OrcaleClient namespace from .NET 4.0 library.

I used this as my primary tool for working with Oracle databases.

When I decide to upgrade my applications from the .NET 2.0 to .NET 4.0, what would bee some alternative options for working with Oracle databases in the .NET 4.0 framework?

It will be up to Oracle to keep their ODP.NET up to date.
