Dear Reader,
Oracle Data Provider (ODP.NET) is a managed provider from Oracle enabling
.NET programmers to access the full feature set of the Oracle database with
speed and efficiency. Beginning with .NET 4.0, Microsoft’s own access provider
for Oracle is deprecated, making ODP.NET the clear choice for access to Oracle
from. Microsoft NET.
My goal in this book is to help you master ODP.NET by breaking the topic
into three easily digestible parts. First I explain how ODP.NET is different from
other providers and why you should use it. I walk you gently through the basics
of ODP.NET via digestible code snippets that you can quickly understand and test.
Next you’ll learn how you can tap powerful features of the Oracle database such
as Advanced Queuing, XML and UDT manipulation, globalization, distributed
transactions, and more. I show how to use these features, and how to use them
efficiently and securely. You will learn how to write lean, performance-optimized
code at every level of the data access stack.
Finally, I introduce the Oracle Developer Tools (ODT.NET) suite. ODT.NET inte-
grates seamlessly with Visual Studio to make writing and debugging easy. You’ll
even learn to generate ODP.NET applications on the fly.
I’ve had a lot of fun writing this book, and in the process I’ve re-explored and
renewed my love for a great product. If you are a .NET developer wanting to write
blazing-fast, Oracle Database applications, ODP.NET is a tool you must famil-
iarize yourself with. It is simply the fastest and most powerful way to access the
Oracle database from the .NET platform. My goal in this book is to have you wield
ODP.NET efficiently and confidently in your .NET projects. I wish you a great
journey and a fun read ahead.
Sincerely,
Edmund Zehoo
