Try using BindByName property of OracleCommand as true to force the data provider bind these parameters by name and not just for the index. You do not need to pass the ' as parameters. It is lead with parameters in the ado.net.

ODP.NET does not support Boolean data type. Just use 1 or 0 as a char value to persist it.

For Sample:

cmd = new Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand("Vbank_pkg.vb_log_entry", con);

cmd.BindByName = true;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

cmd.Parameters.Add("p_rqserial", OracleDbType.Int32).Value = Log_Serial;
cmd.Parameters.Add("p_orig", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = p_orig;
cmd.Parameters.Add("p_type", OracleDbType.Char).Value = p_type;
cmd.Parameters.Add("p_objname", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = p_objname;
cmd.Parameters.Add("p_info", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = p_info;
cmd.Parameters.Add("p_text", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = p_text;
cmd.Parameters.Add("p_with_commit", OracleDbType.Char).Value = "1";

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
