ODBC或ODP.Net for C＃？

Question

I've been tasked with writing a few custom C# reporting programs for a client. These programs will only read the Oracle databases, never update or change the data.

Is there any significant advantage to using ODP.Net over ODBC? I know several people that advocate using Oracle's Instant Client (I think it includes ODP.Net) because it's easier to deploy (supposedly) than having the client install the ODBC drivers. Having had no experience with deploying apps that rely on ODBC or ODP.Net, I can't make a good decision.

So, any advice from someone that's been through this?

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

ODP.NET! I can vouch for easy deployment with instant client and odp. Definitely the way to go.

Answer 2

如有疑问，请为您的数据库使用本机ADO.Net托管提供程序，以支持ODBC驱动程序。
