Getting Started with Oracle Data Provider for .NET (C# Version)


Time to Complete
Approximately 30 minutes
In addition to basic Oracle client connectivity software, .NET applications require the use of what is known as a managed data provider (where "managed" refers to code managed by the .NET framework). The data provider is the layer between the .NET application code and the Oracle client connectivity software.

The Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) is Oracle's high performance ADO.NET 2.0 compliant data provider that exposes a complete set of Oracle specific features and tuning options including support for Real Application Clusters, XML DB, and advanced security. It is available for free download from the Oracle Technology Network website.

When ODP.NET and any required Oracle client connectivity software is installed, application development using Visual Studio can begin. It is a good idea to confirm client connectivity before starting development. If you can connect to Oracle using SQL*Plus on the same machine as Visual Studio, then you know that your Oracle client-side software is properly installed and configured.
