Workflow Foundation and Oracle

Hi,

one of our customers has Oracle and does not want to use Sql Server.
Now we need a workflow tool in a .NET environment that works with
Oracle.

Workflow Foundation comes out of the box with Sql Server support. I've
found a community project that supports Oracle for WF (http://
www.codeplex.com/WFTools), but it's still in beta.

So my question is: what are the alternatives here?

Already thanks for any help!

Kind regards,
Ludwig

Ludwig,

I would say none, right now, beyond what you have found. I haven't seen
any declarations from MS about Oracle support in WF. If you want it, you
would probably have to write it yourself (when using Oracle as a persistence
store).

Thanks... but are there other alternatives or products besides WF?

Ludwig,

Besides WF? There might be, but I would expect a completely different
experience, as well as the need to adjust expectations as to what it will
provide for you.

You might want to look into BizTalk. There are overlapping areas
between what it provides and what WF provides, but it's also vastly
different in a number of ways.

Can BizTalk work with Oracle instead of with Sql Server?
Feb 1 '08 #5
Ludwig,

BizTalk does require SQL Server to run, yes.

WF doesn't necessarily require SQL Server to run, you just need it if
you want to use SQL Server as a persistence store for workflows. There is
nothing that says you have to use SQL Server to run WF.

Thanks. If I use WF, I need that persistance store. Meanwhile I found
out that Sql Express can be used to for WF, and that's free. It's
another valid option, I believe...
