This LINQPad driver leverages Matt Warren's IQueryable toolkit and supports MySQL, SQLite and Oracle. Everything you need is included: no extra drivers or downloads are required (you don't even have to install the Oracle client). Querying functionality is almost on par with LINQ to SQL, and updates are supported. Plain SQL queries work, too. This driver does not alter your machine configuration or GAC.
