I am new to database programming, so I'd like help getting on the right track. I have read that there are Microsoft-defined and third-party data providers for data access. MSDN has information on data providers for SQL Server, OLE DB, ODBC, Oracle, as well as the EntityClient provider (Entity Framework).

Which data provider is today's hottest, most-widely used model?

Which one is the future?

Also, I have seen Linq to SQL tutorials, but what category does L2S fall into?
