Is there a way to force OracleCommand.BindByName to be true by default for ODP.NET?

Question

Since the System.Data.OracleClient library has been deprecated, we are in the process of migrating our code base to use Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) instead. One

I know this thread is old, but I had the same problem today and thought I would share my solution in case someone else had this problem. Since OracleCommand is sealed (which sucks), I created a new class that encapsulates the OracleCommand, setting the BindByName to true on instantiation. Here's part of the implementation:

public class DatabaseCommand
{
    private OracleCommand _command = null;

    public DatabaseCommand(string sql, OracleConnection connection)
    {
        _command = new OracleCommand(sql, connection)
        {
            BindByName = true
        };
    }

    public int ExecuteNonQuery()
    {
        return _command.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }

    // Rest of impl removed for brevity
}

Then all I had to do to cleanup the commands was do a search for OracleCommand and replace with DatabaseCommand and test.
