Hi,

As for now it doesn't seam like the latest ODP.NET supports the new
System.Transaction namespace. I have tried to download and install the
latest beta of ODP.NET version 10.2.0.2.10
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html), but
it doesn't support the System.Transaction namespace - specifically the
TransactionScope class.

On Oracles own site I can't find any information about future support
the the namespace. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject ?

Regards
Joachim Hoffmann

The reply I got: "We will support System.Transactions in production.
We won't be supporting promotable transactions in that release. If
Oracle is employed in a transaction, it will be a distributed
transaction"

Not clear to me, but it's what they told me ;). What's not clear to me
is why they can't support promotable transactions, but I guess it's
because MTS/COM+ support is optional for oracle, and therefore can't be
assumed to be there.

Hi Frans

I really appreciate your involvement in this and thanks for a quick
response.

Do you have any idea about the timeframe for a ODP.NET production
release ?

They said somewhere in May. So I think early June ;).

The reason they don't support promotable transactions is that it would
require a server change as well. They're thinking about it though, so
perhaps in the near future. :)
