Oracle ODP.NET and WebMatrix

Jan 22, 2013 02:16 AM|LINK

I am trying to use oracle odp.net driver to connect to Oracle database using webmatix. I would like to use webnatirx.data.

I used Database.OpenConnectionString(connectionString, providerName) with

providerName = "System.Data.OracleClient" in the past to connect to Oracle. From What I understand MSFT orcle client is deprecated. I am trying to switch to

providerName = "Oracle.DataAccess.Client".

I am running in to issues. I am running this app on windows 7 64 bit version.

I get errors when I try to add Nuget ODP.NET package for 64 bit edition.

I appreciate if you can share your experience with odp.net

Thanks

Thanks Mike for your quick response.. following are additional details.

Background: Trying to move a webmatrix project from win xp to Win 7 64 bit machine. Original app was developed using Webmatix 1.0 and got upgraded to 2.0 on XP. Code runs fine on XP with "System.Data.OracleClient". When I tried run the code on a new Windows 7 64 bit machine got a error message that lead me to the fact that latest version of .NET does not support MSFT oracle client and I should be using a 3rd party driver. I installed Oracle's ODP.net 64Bit version. I am able to connect to the Oracle Database server using SQL Developer and also winforms test app using VS 2012. So that makes me believe that I have ODP installed and working. I am trying to modify the code in webmatrix to get it to work with ODP.net.

I tried so far few things, they are

STEP 1

Tried to add ODP.NET x64 NuGet package version 112.3.20

I get the following error message

======

=======

STEP 2: Added X86 version of NuGet Package (guessing it is a 32 bit one)

The website runs

The psuedo code goes something like:

@using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
@using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;

@{
 
    var connectionString = "Data Source= XXX; User Id = XXX; Password = XXXX";
    //var providerName = "System.Data.OracleClient";
    var providerName = "Oracle.DataAccess.Client";

var db = Database.OpenConnectionString(connectionString, providerName);

    var data = db.Query(selectQueryString, EmployeeID, PeriodName);
    db.Close();

 I get the following error with using client side debugging tools in Chrome.

I appreciate your help. Does Webmatrix work with ODP.NET?

Thanks,

I have never used Oracle and know nothing about it, but see if this makes any sense to you: http://forums.asp.net/post/4281454.aspx

If not, it might be better if I move your post to the Oracle forum as the issues seem to relate more to that than WebMatrix. Let me know if you would like the post moved.

There is no reason why you should not be able to use WebMatrix to get an ASP.NET site up and running with whatever database you choose.

My Guess is the issue might be Webmatrix being a 32 bit application and the driver I am using is 64 bit one. I am going to move the code to a regular visual studio project. I will miss the simplicity of WebMatrix.Data library. I will still have Razor goodness under VS. I should be good.

Thanks for your help.

Niranjan

I un-installed the 64 bit version Oracle .NET client and installed 32 bit version. I used the NuGet Package for 32 bit version and My WebMatrix code works w/o any changes other than making

providerName = "Oracle.DataAccess.Client"

Thanks for your help.

Niranjan
