How to query different databases from different vendors using VB.Net

I'm writing an application that should be able to query different databases from different vendors (Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, MS Access).

Is there any tool that performs this for C# or VB.Net ? something like UnityJDBC ?

I would like to avoid creating different interfaces that communicate with different SQL structures to query databases.

Thanks

Nothing is built into .NET out of the box. However, simple web searches proves that it is possible to use LINQ to all of these

Oracle: http://download.oracle.com/oll/obe/EntityFrameworkOBE/EntityFrameworkOBE.htm

Sybase: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1056609

SQL Server (there are a lot of resources, here's a comprehensive one): http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/215712/LINQ-to-SQL-Basic-Concepts-and-Features
