OK. My frustration level (with Silverlight primarily) currently is beyond belief, so I'm not going to try to add to it for the time being.

I do see that NHibernate supposedly supports Oracle.

Pluralsight seems to have some NHibernate information, so I'll take a look at that as time permits.

Thanks Mike.
