Using Oracle DB in a C# WinForms application

Question

I'm working on a project written in C# and using an Oracle database. In my researches, System.Data.OracleClient is deprecated and Microsoft recommends a third party Oracle provider. I decided to use the ODP provider from Oracle.

My application is a DB query intensive application, and I'm writing each of the queries on my own. For example, I'm using Data Navigator and I have to write queries for adding, removing, and updating a row.

Isn't there any way i can use the advantages of ADO.NET with Oracle?

Answer 1

Oracle's ODP.Net provider is an ADO.Net provider. It follows the ADO.Net contracts. What ADO.Net feature are you missing?
