Access Oracle from .NET


Using C#

Agenda
• Define MS .NET
• Web development and .NET (basic stuff)
• IDE used
• Different ways of talking to Oracle from
.NET
• ODP.NET – crack it open and get it ready
• Samples
What is MS NET. Architecture
 IL (Intermediate Language), 
   CLR (Common Language Runtime), 
   Base Class Library (BCL) is a common library used by all 
languages, GC (Garbage collection) is the responsibility of the 
CLR, not the language. 
– .NET 20K feet high view…

BASE CLASS LIBRARY

CLR - COMMON LANGUAGE RUNTINE

OPERATING SYSTEM
ODP + .NET lingo
• Assembly: Microsoft’s term for the module
that is created when a DLL or .EXE is complied
by a .NET compiler.
ODP.net Assembly is Oracle.DataAccess.dll
Namespaces:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client (e.g. OracleConnection)
Oracle.DataAccess.Types (e.g. OracleClob Class)
Oracle: Best Database for .NET
• ODP.NET allows full access to .NET
– No limitation to using .NET functionality.
Still requires you install the Oracle Client
Software (9 or above)
Oracle and .NET Data Access
• Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET)
– Developed by Oracle
– Best performing provider
– Exposes the most Oracle DB features
– Based upon Microsoft ADO.NET spec
• 3rd party Oracle providers
– Microsoft .NET Data Provider for Oracle (Microsoft)
– Connect for .NET (DataDirect)
• Other Oracle data access methods
– OLE DB .NET via OLE DB
– ODBC .NET via ODBC
ODP.NET Basics
• Available today in production for free
– http://otn.oracle.com/tech/windows/odpnet
– Original release: Dec. 2002
• Can be used with Oracle8, Oracle8i, Oracle9i, and
Oracle10g database servers
– Database server can be on Unix, Linux, Windows, etc.
– Database client on Windows
• Supports VS.NET 2002 and 2003
• Supports .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1

ODP.NET Features
• Full PL/SQL support
– Packaged, non-packaged, anonymous, autonomous
– *Batch SQL available with anonymous PL/SQL
• Native Oracle data types
– LOBS, REF Cursors, BFiles, N-data types, Dates,
TimeStamps, Longs, Raws, etc.
– Safe type mapping to .NET data types
• *Connection pooling
– Min, Max, Timeout, Lifetime, Increment, Decrement

* Performance tip
ODP.NET Installation

• The Oracle.DataAccess.dll assembly is installed in the


ORACLE_
• BASE\ORACLE_HOME\bin directory.
• Documentation and the readme.txt are installed in the
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\ODP.NET\doc directory.
• Samples are provided in the
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\ODP.NET\Samples directory.

* Performance tip
Visual Studio .NET Integration
• Dynamic Help
– ODP.NET documentation available – Hit F1 key
• Intellisense
• Connection pooling is enabled in ODP.NET
(by default).
ODP.NET Connection Options

• Proxy user authentication


OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection();
con.ConnectionString = "User Id=customer;Password=lion;" +
"Data Source=oracle;Proxy User Id=appserver;Proxy
Password=eagle; ";
con.Open();

• Operating System
Authentication
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection();
con.ConnectionString = "User Id=/;Data 
Source=oracle;";
con.Open();
* Performance tip
ODP.NET Connection
– Connection pools are created by the connection pooling
service using the ConnectionString as a signature to
uniquely identify a pool.

OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection();
con.ConnectionString = "User Id=scott;Password=tiger;Data 
Source=oracle;" +
"Min Pool Size=5;Max Pool Size=20;Connection Lifetime=120;” 
+
“Connection  Timeout=60; Incr Pool Size=5; Decr Pool 
Size=2";
con.Open();
NOTES:
• Connection Lifetime = Maximum life time (in seconds) of the connection
(default 0)
• Connection Lifetime enforced when a connection is going back
to the connection pool.
* Performance tip
• Connections are closed every three minutes (connection Lifetime..)
Workshop Example VS.NET

• NOTE: Right-click and select “open in new Window” to prevent the


current powerpoint from being overlaid and thus allowing you to
continue. If you have a popup blocker, this may prevent a new window
from opening. E.g. with Google Popup blocker, you need to press the ctrl
key simultaneously.
WebEx Pre-recorded Sessions
• Create Skeleton ASP.NET Web Application
• Add Populate Dept functionality
• Add Insert Dept Functionality
• Execute Application
ODP.NET Performance and
Scalability Tips
• Close all ODP.NET objects when finished (e.g. OracleConnection)
– Do not count on the garbage collector to do this automatically
• Use anonymous PL/SQL when batching commands
– Makes only one DB round trip
– Use associative arrays to bind parameters
• Use FetchSize (OracleDataReader) and RowSize (OracleCommand) to
tune data retrieval performance
• Use InitialLOBFetchSize and InitialLongFetchSize to tune LOB and
LONG retrieval performance
Performance
• Use Anonymous PL/SQL blocks.
FAQ
• Q: Can ODP.NET work with Oracle8,
Oracle8i, Oracle9i, and Oracle10g
database (DB) servers?
• Yes, but you will need to use an
Oracle9i Release 2 client or higher
FAQ
• Q: Do I need to install ODP.NET on
my Oracle DB server?

• A: No. You only need to install


ODP.NET on your client or middle-
tier machine, wherever you use the
.NET Framework.
