Easy Question - Oracle Ref Cursors

[Knickerless Parsons]

Afternoon all,
Just after confirmation that I can read from an oracle ref_cursor
using the Microsoft data connector supplied with Visual Studio 2005
rather that having to get oracles latest ODP offering.

Reading other posts here it seems to imply I can but I just need
someone to tell me straight.

Any comments comparing the 2 technologies and their respective pro's
and cons in a real world development environment would also be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Dave.

Well,

Oracle's ODP will be faster then Microsoft's.

A old URL will give you some more idea.
