Description

Visit the updated Integrating the ODP.NET Data Provider article for a how-to on connecting to Oracle Databases.

System.Data.OracleClient is a Microsoft .NET Framework data provider allowing you to connect to an Oracle database. The provider is deprecated and it should not be used - Oracle and ADO.NET.

Solution

We recommend the usage of the Oracle Data Provider for .NET/ODP.NET. More .NET Framework data providers and how they can be used for connecting to an Oracle database can be found in the Oracle connection strings article.
