Issuing a simple EXECUTE command using ODP

Question

I want to issue a command using ODP in C# to refresh a materialized view.
The command I want to execute is simple: EXECUTE DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('USER.MV_TEST','C');
I have tried with and without the anonymous block BEGIN..END. I have tried issuing it as cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() and cmd.ExecuteReader(), but I always get an error.
Here is the basic C# source code:
con.ConnectionString = "User Id=user;Password=123;Data Source=oracle;";
string cmdQuery = "BEGIN EXECUTE DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('USER.MV_TEST','C'); END;";
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(cmdQuery);
con.Open();
cmd.Connection = con;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks

Hi,
Execute is a sqlplus command.
Try
string cmdQuery = "BEGIN DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('USER.MV_TEST','C'); END;";
