Feel free to add your notes to this topic below.

ADO.NET is the part of the .NET framework responsible for database access.

It defines interfaces and classes that can be used for accessing and working with database servers.

The .NET framework contains providers for MSSQL, OLEDB and Oracle, but libraries based on these classes have providers for other database servers, for example PostGreSQL, Firebird, Interbase and SQLite.

ADO.NET also contains classes for linking GUI controls to data, and to objects.
