It appears that apart SQL Server only Oracle and MySQL have native .NET data providers available. So how does one write .NET clients for databases that only provide ODBC drivers?
As Carl Prothman says here:
The ODBC .NET Data Provider is an add-on component to the .NET Framework SDK. It provides access to native ODBC drivers the same way the OLE DB .NET Data Provider provides access to native OLE DB providers.
One of the databases is that would require this add-on is Teradata. It looks like Microsoft nor NCR didn't test this data provider with Teradata. (or didn't publish the results of such tests)
TODO: test and publish the results
