From the feature list:\n\nEasy Data UI Generation.  Web Matrix makes it easy to create data bound pages without writing code. Drop SQL/MSDE or Access tables on your page to create data-bound grids, or start with Data Page templates for reports or Master/Detail pages. Code builders help you generate code to select, insert, update and delete SQL/MSDE or Access data.  [via WebLogs @ ASP.NET]\nIt only makes it easy for two databases which are both Microsoft owned? What really baffles me is why they don't use ADO.NET, by the way this is their own data abstraction technology. The same approach has also been applied to InfoPath and this is certainly a disturbing trend for unsuspecting end-users, developers, systems architects, and decision makers. Before you know it you lose your database choices. \n \nCould this be an oversight on the part of Microsoft? I don't think so somehow, we are taking a very interesting journey here from database independence to database specificity ( ODBC->OLEDB-ADO.NET-[SQL Server|Acces] ), all in a quest to covertly reduce choices (I think I've seen this movie before! And I might have to rewrite the script).\n " ; atom:title "What's new in Web Matrix ?" . @prefix ns10: . sioc:has_creator ns10:this ; sioc:has_container ; sioc:links_to ; atom:source ; atom:author ns1:this ; atom:published "2003-06-18T12:02:22Z" ; atom:updated "2006-06-22T12:56:58Z" . @prefix opl: . opl:isDescribedUsing . ns10:this rdf:type sioc:User . @prefix rdf: . @prefix ns1: . @prefix foaf: . ns1:this rdf:type foaf:Person ; foaf:made . @prefix atom: . rdf:type atom:Feed . @prefix sioct: . rdf:type sioct:Weblog . @prefix rdfs: . rdfs:label "kidehen@openlinksw.com's BLOG [127] description" . @prefix sioc: . sioc:container_of ; atom:entry ; atom:contains . @prefix ns7: . ns7:this rdf:type sioc:User ; sioc:creator_of .
