Por mi parte la he probado y funciona perfectamente y se integra en el IDE de Visual Studio, con las mismas funcionalidades de acceso a base de datos que efectúa el mismo, pero en su caso, a ORACLE.

Un saludo a todos y siento no haber podido acudir al evento de hoy por razón de tipo académico (Exámen).
