Answer 2

You are correct. At the time of this writing OracleBulkCopy is not supported in ODP.NET, Managed Driver.

The reason is is not included was simply a matter of feature priority. As the Managed Driver becomes more feature complete, eventually the OracleBulkCopy class will be added.

In the future, anyone can look at the "Differences between the ODP.NET Managed Driver and Unmanaged Driver" section of the most recent ODP.NET book to see what is not supported:
