What is the overall synthetic outcome of hydroboration of alkenes, followed by oxidation?” I know hydroboration is against Markovnikov’s rule.  Is the answer addition of water against markovnikov’s rule (Yes. - GS) or addition of boron in the syn-fashion against the Markovnikov’s rule? (No, because it is followed by oxidation. - GS).

^^^^^^Just out of curiousity what would the product be if this reaction (addition of water against the markovnikov's rule) took place assuming that the alkene was like ethene? (Ethanol, but for this example, the rule does not apply because both carbons have same number of hydrogens. - GS).
