OLE DB oracle drivers

I have had issues in the past with standard .Net OLE drivers for Oracle with reagrd to transactions, switching to the oracle drivers fixed the issue, however i have now found the reason why... the M$ one explicitly does not support nested transactions!

Microsoft's OLE DB Provider for Oracle:"...At this time, the provider does not support nested transactions, which is how it would expose save points."

Note navigating directly to the expert exchnge site will not show the answer, google have forced them to show answers at the bottom of the page, hence to indirect link.
This post is much more for me to find this link again.

Basically if you are using .Net and Oracle, use the Oracle drivers
