Database Provider Factories are awesome.

[Kasracer]

No they're not

[oceanebelle]

but why not?

I like the potential of using Common Db Objects and the Factories

There is flexibility on what db to use finally. Like now I'm testing locally using access and I just found out that I can't use that on live so I have to use sql server.

Then there is this possibility of connecting to multiple db of a different nature. Say there is an Old db that one needs to connect to and another new db.

So that's the promise it holds hence it's good.

I don't know how to connect to DB's in 2005.

but it's so simple. a bit of google search here and there and msdn on the side.

I created a class to do the dirty stuff so now I only have one line to connect to db and fill my datatable.

can't wait to try sqlserver express later when I get home...

why do I have to work at this tmie??
