Batch multiple select statements when calling Oracle from ADO.NET

Question

I want to batch multiple select statements to reduce round trips to the database. The code looks something like the pseudo code below. It works perfectly on SQL Server, but

Answer 1

why not use stored procedures instead?

But, if you want to batch them in an inline query, you can use a semicolon (;) to seperate the statements.

var sql = @"BEGIN
                select * from table1;
                select * from table2;
                select * from table3;
            END;";
