I have 32-bit drivers installed on my box (they were installed and configured by some DBAs) I wrote a simple script to test the drivers which pretty much is as follows using (DataTable table = new DataTable()) { using (OracleConnection connection = new OracleConnection()) { connection.ConnectionString = "Data Source=alias;User id=user;Password=password"; connection.Open(); using (OracleCommand command = connection.CreateCommand()) { command.CommandType = CommandType.Text; command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM DUAL"; table.Load(command.ExecuteReader()); } } } When I compile this application as

I've recently set up a Windows 8.1 64 Bit Machine with Visual Studio 2013 (probably 32 bit, at least it installed itself at Program Files (x86)). I've also installed the Oracle 11.2.0.1 64 Bit Client with Oracle Data Provider for .NET. When I do gacutil /l | findstr Oracle.DataAccess, I get four entries, including the following: Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.112.1.0, ..., processorArchitecture=AMD64 However, I cannot find Oracle.DataAccess in any of the lists when trying to add an assembly (Oracle.Web is present under Assemblies->Extensions, though). Do I have to install the 32 bit Oracle

I am trying to execute a user-defined Oracle function that returns a RefCursor using ODP.NET. Here is the function: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION PKG.FUNC_TEST (ID IN TABLE.ID%type) RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR AS REF_TEST SYS_REFCURSOR; BEGIN OPEN REF_TEST FOR SELECT * FROM TABLE; RETURN REF_TEST; END; / I can call this function in Toad (select func_test(7) from dual) and get back a CURSOR. But I need to get the cursor using C# and ODP.NET to fill a DataSet, but I keep getting a NullReferenceException - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Here is what I have for that:

Overview I want to replace Oracle.DataAccess with Orcale. Managed DataAccess, but opening a connection with the latter throws an ORA-12537 network session end of file exception. Exception message / stack trace {OracleInternal.Network.NetworkException (0x000030F9): ORA-12537 : Netzwerksession: Dateiende at OracleInternal.Network.ReaderStream.Read(OraBuf OB) at OracleInternal.TTC.OraBufReader.GetDataFromNetwork() at OracleInternal.TTC.OraBufReader.Read(Boolean bIgnoreData) at OracleInternal.TTC.MarshallingEngine.UnmarshalUB1(Boolean bIgnoreData) at OracleInternal.TTC.TTCProtocolNegotiation

I've tried to write C# code with ODP.NET to call a function in a package. I'm getting the two errors below: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to INSERT_FUNC' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00221: 'INSERT_FUNC' is not a procedure or is undefined ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored My OracleCommand is set up as: cmd.CommandText = "PKG_NAME.INSERT_FUNC"; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; How should I pass parameters to the function below?
