fill a multi-table dataset for Oracle

When I call a dataAdapter's Fill method to load a multi-
table dataset from SQL Server, I can use a sql string
something like "SELECT * FROM table1;SELECT * FROM table2"
as the command text and it will give me a dataset with two
tables. But my problem is that I have to support both SQL
Server and Oracle. Oracle doesn't seem to support this.
How do I do this in oracle?

The ideal solution for me would be one logic that supports
both data sources. Is it possible to 1) use separate
select statements to load a dataset that contain multiple
tables? How? or, 2) Does Oracle also support the same
combined sql select statements but with some different
syntax that's unknown to me?

Thanks

Yes. This is the perfered method for Oracle.

Using a Typed DataSet, create a DataSet with two DataTables and fill each
one with
SqlDataAdapter.Fill(DataTable)
or
OracleDataAdapter.Fill(DataTable)


eg:

MyDataSet ds = new MyDataSet();
.. . .
dataAdapter1.Fill(ds.MyTable1);
.. . .
dataAdapter2.Fill(ds.MyTable2);
.. . .
