What is the key difference between a data provider and an ADO.NET managed provider?
- The connection pooling mechanism
- The data source supported

A data provider in .NET is responsible for interacting with a specific data source, such as SQL Server or Oracle, while an ADO.NET managed provider is responsible for managing the connection and communication between the .NET application and the underlying database. The key difference lies in the handling of the data source, with the data provider focusing on data access and the managed provider focusing on managing the connection and communication.
