Oracle Client vs. Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (async/await)

Question

I\'d like to write a bunch of methods querying the Oracle Database in the async/await way. Since ODP.NET seems to support neither awaitable *Async methods nor Begin/EndOpera

Answer 1

I'm using this

public static class TaskHelper
{
    public async static Task AsAsync(Func function, TaskCreationOptions taskCreationOptions = TaskCreationOptions.None)
    {
        return await Task.Factory.StartNew(function, taskCreationOptions);
    }

    public async static Task AsAsync(Action action, TaskCreationOptions taskCreationOptions = TaskCreationOptions.None)
    {
        await Task.Factory.StartNew(action, taskCreationOptions);
    }
}

Any synchronous function can be made asynchronous and you can await of it.
