DataConnect offers the Full Experience with Oracle. This allows you to create queries using a tile-based drag and drop query builder. The tile-based editor functions with Oracle Native Provider for .NET 4.0, OLEDB and ODBC.
However, automatic joins are currently only supported on Oracle Provider for .NET 4.0 based connections.
We recommend using the Oracle Provider for .NET 4.0 where available.
