I'm in the unenviable position of developing a desktop application that must
access a Oracle database where each workstation has a different version of
the Oracle client. Installing and upgrading Oracle client versions is a bear
and something I'd like to avoid.
It would be nice, but never really were able to test if there is a way to
get the best of both worlds of a single application server (IIS) that talks
to the database, but winforms on all the desktops using web services or
remoting to connect to the app server.
All clients would be inside the local network. I would just build a middle
layer that returns datasets and datareaders on the app server.
Has anyone tried this in a production environment?
Thanks!
