Oracle.dataaccess.client,oracle.dataaccess.dll

I am new to this environment and am trying to write a vb.net application using oracle 9i database. How do i get oracle.dataaccess.client and .dll downloaded and installed so the studio will be happy ??
George

Firstly, welcome, and I hope you get off to a good start. You can start by downloading the ODP.NET software from the ODP.NET homepage:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html
Next I would take a look at John Paul Cook's introductory article:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/cook_dotnet.html
There is also sample code that gets installed when you install the ODP.NET software.
My series of Oracle Magazine articles is here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/tech_dev.html#dotnet
Though they are all in C# some might be useful to you.
Thanks, and good luck!

Oracle Instant Client & Oracle 9i Client Co-existence

I am having problems installing Instant client with existing Oracle 9i client. Some of our users have Oracle 9i client already installed. In this case, I need to do the following to make it work.
1. Add the Instantcclient dir path
2. Remove oracle_home from registry
3. SET NLG_LANG and TNS_ADMIN env variables.
The main issue we are facing is with TNS_ADMIN. When you set this variable to Instantcclient dir , then both Oracle 9i and InstantClient 10g started using the tnsnames.ora in instant client dir. This is not acceptable , as some of the might intend to use Oracle 9i network/admin/tnsnames.ora file when they use Oracle 9i ODBC driver.
Can you please tell me how to install/configure Instant client 10g with an existing Oracle 9i client. Also, can you send me the ODBC Connection string thats doesn't use tnsnames.ora.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

Metalink note 90419.1 describes how to connect to a database without using tnsnames.ora. eg
sqlplus system/manager@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=tiger5.com)(Port=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=V815)))
I cannot use this method when creating an ODBC DSN. I tried the Oracle9i ODBC driver, the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle but not the Oracle10g instant client ODBC driver. I suspect that the long string exceeds the ODBC specification.
I have had some success using a MS-DOS Batch File to launch an application that required the Oracle7 client long after it had been removed from the registry. This could work for the Oracle10 Instant Client
REM set up the environment variables
REM these are local to this application
set ORACLE_HOME=%CD%\oracle7client

Oracle 9 libraries - oracle 10 client - oracle 9 or 8 database server

Hello,
I would like to know if a program compiled with Oracle 9 client libraries can communicate with Oracle 9 and Oracle 8 database servers by using the oracle client 10 on Solaris ?
Many thanks,

Oracle 8 libraries, 8i or 8.0? 8.0 is not supported for connetivity against 10g, meanwhile 8i (8.1.7.4) is. Now which 10g are you talking about? 10g R1 or 10g R2? 10gR1 had several communication issues. 9iR2 vs. 10g, either R1 or R2, no problem.

Oracle 9 client / Oracle 12 Apps

Hi,
I launched the Enterprise Manager Console from the Oracle 9 client. While tried to connect to the Oracle 12 Apps using user SYSTEM/Manager, I got the following error even though I checked that the user SYSTEM has the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege:
This application requires you have been granted the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege. Contact your DBA to grant you this privilige.
Is this a know problem? Doesn't Oracle 9 client talk to Oracle 12 Apps.
Thanks,
Qing

Oracle E-Business Suite R12 comes with 10g. It is not possible to monitor a 10g database via 9i OEM console.
You can use Grid control, database control or the 10g java console for monitoring a 10g database.
Have a look at Note: 340951.1 & Note: 307958.1 for more details

Build issue regarding missing Oracle.DataAccess.Client.dll ... where is it

I'm building a new .sln file and it gave me an error in a file that referenced the following:
<Schema Namespace="Model.Store" Alias="Self" Provider="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" ProviderManifestToken="11.2" xmlns:store="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/12/edm/EntityStoreSchemaGenerator" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/02/edm/ssdl">
It seemed to be complaining that it could not fine the assembly associated with the provider. I installed the Oracle Data Provider installation package and rebuilt and it was working fine. What I wanted to know is where is this assembly. I cannot locate it on my laptop. I did see a reference regarding "Configuration File Support and Search Order for Unmanaged DLLs". It stated:
The Oracle.DataAccess.dll searches for dependent unmanaged DLLs (such as Oracle Client) based on the following order:
1.     Directory of the application or executable.
2.     DllPath setting specified by application config or web.config.
3.     DllPath setting specified by machine.config.
4.     DllPath setting specified by the Windows Registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\Software\Oracle\ODP.NET\version\DllPath
5.     Directories specified by the Windows PATH environment variable.
I did see where the installation package modified the machine..config file. Can somebody tell me how the reference tot eh "missing" assembly is resolved?
Thanks, Eric

Oracle.DataAccess.dll is usually in the ODP.NET\bin folder of your Oracle installation. There's one for .net 2 and another for .net 4.

Since this is an oracle section, I think you'll get more help over at the oracle forums.
https://community.oracle.com/community/developer/english/oracle_database/windows_and_.net/oracle_developer_tools_for_visual_studio
I would check the versions of the odp.net (oracle.dataaccess.dll) on both machines. The XP machine probably has the 11g client on it. And the windows 7 machine probably has the 12c client on it.

oracle.dataaccess.client not recognized in app.config for edmMapping

Hi,
I installed ODTwithODAC112030 EF provider release version.
So I want to use custom EDM Mapping for boolean or something else.
But Entity Data Model can't recognize
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
section in appConfig file.
I'm using Win 7 x64 , VS 2010 and x86 odac components.
How can i resolve this problem.
Thank you..

Would you please do a simple test like follows?
1. create test table
create table test_table (c1 number(4) primary key not null, c2 number(1, 0), c3 number(2), c4 number(5, 0), c5 number(10, 0), c6 number(19, 0));
2. create a C# Console application and create a data model from test_table.
Because there is no custom type mapping specified in app.config, default mapping is used in the model.
Your CSDL section in Model1.edmx should show:
<EntityType Name="TEST_TABLE">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="C1" />
</Key>
<Property Name="C1" Type="Int16" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="C2" Type="Int16" />
<Property Name="C3" Type="Int16" />
<Property Name="C4" Type="Int16" />
<Property Name="C5" Type="Int32" />
<Property Name="C6" Type="Int64" />
</EntityType>
3. Delete Model1.edmx.
4. Open app.config and add the following below </connectionStrings> and above </configuration>. Save changes.
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="bool" value="edmmapping number(1, 0)" />
<add name="byte" value="edmmapping number(3, 0)" />
<add name="int16" value="edmmapping number(4, 0)" />
<add name="int32" value="edmmapping number(9, 0)" />
<add name="int64" value="edmmapping number(18, 0)" />
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
5. Create a data model from test_table again.
The new model should be using your custom type mapping.
Your CSDL section in Model1.edmx should show:
<EntityType Name="TEST_TABLE">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="C1" />
</Key>
<Property Name="C1" Type="Int16" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="C2" Type="Boolean" />
<Property Name="C3" Type="Byte" />
<Property Name="C4" Type="Int32" />
<Property Name="C5" Type="Int64" />
<Property Name="C6" Type="Decimal" Precision="19" Scale="0" />
</EntityType>
If it does not work for you, you may want to check the version of your Oracle.DataAccess.dll in the GAC.
gacutil /l Oracle.DataAccess
Or change the timestamp of app.config.
touch.exe app.config

Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataAdapter exists in both v2 and v4

Hi there,
I am developing ASP Net application with ODP.NET 11.2.0.2.1 and VS 2010. The target framework is .Net framework 3.5 and I've explicitly Oracle.DataAccess reference to v.2, with
<add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.112.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89B483F429C47342"/>
, but when it compiled, it throw error
The type 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataAdapter' exists in both
'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\Oracle.DataAccess\2.112.2.0__89b483f429c47342\oracle.dataaccess.dll'
and 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\Oracle.DataAccess\v4.0_4.112.2.0__89b483f429c47342\oracle.dataaccess.dll'
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\esptweb\df172a69\e974c60e\App_Code.eoge0t0f.4.cs
How can I fixed it?
Thanks for the help.

Did you try adding that reference using the Add Reference command in Visual Studio instead? I've never seen it behave like this before.
There are two versions of the assembly, but it shouldn't be trying to load the .net 4 version if you have a reference to the .net 2 version and you're in a 2 (or 3.5) app.

Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException not compatible version

Hi,
i have installed the oracle developer tools for VS2005.NET. In my programms i put a reference to the Oracle.DataAccess.dll Version 2.102.2.20 in my Project. I can start and run this Programm on the same PC without problems.
If i copy the Programm-Exe and the Oracle.DataAccess.dll on an other PC and start this Programm there, i became a Error-Message:
"Unbehandelte Ausnahme: System.TypeInitializationException: Der Typeninitialisier

Is there anybody that can help me?
thanks,

You need to run the installer to install ODP.NET on the target machine. Simply copying a few files is not good enough (at least not until we support xcopy instant client).

And been trying to switch my project over from "System.Data.OracleClient" (seems like it's not friendly with TransactionScope) to ODP.NET "Oracle.DataAccess.Client". I failed from get go:
Code:
DbProviderFactory oDbFactory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("Oracle.DataAccess.Client");
Keep getting System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException saying:
+"Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider."+
In my futile attempt to resolve this:
STEP 1: In machine.config
* Under \\configuration\configSections\, *add:
<section name="oracle.dataaccess.client" type="System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
* Under ..\system.data\DbProviderFactories\, *add:
<add name="Oracle Data Provider for .NET" invariant="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Oracle" type="Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory, Oracle.DataAccess, Version=10.2.0.100, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
STEP 2: I checked my assembly cache it's there:
Code:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>gacutil /l | findstr Oracle
System.Data.OracleClient, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77

ken=89b483f429c47342
See, I'm sure the assembly has been installed and in machine.config I used the right key/version. Weird thing is, Red Gate's reflector won't allow me to "Open" (from Cache) the dll, this prevented me to check if there exists "Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory" within the assembly. So I select "Copy Local" and examined the dll from "Red Gates Reflector". There's no "Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory" in the dll ???

STEP 3. Somebody advised to check and make sure "msvcr71.dll" is found under "ORACLE_HOME\bin" and if not copy from "D:\WINDOWS\system32". I did, it's ALREADY there.

Thanks just installed from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/dotnet/utilsoft.html
It seems version is "2.111.6.20" - from machine.config there's a new line
<add name="Oracle Data Provider for .NET" invariant="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" description="Oracle Data Provider for .NET" type="Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory, Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.111.6.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
i added reference to it from Visual Studio. It's working now.
There were two options: one for client, the other for server. I don't understand what it means but stick to "Client" which was the default. Is this okay?
At the end there was a reminder "Run Oracle Providers for ASP.NET SQL scripts located in D:\OracleODPNET\ASP.NET\SQL directory."
Anyway, I'm verrrry glad this is working now many thanks!!! (I feel like 10 years older)

Oracle.dataaccess.client,oracle.dataaccess.dll
