Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) provides fast and efficient access to Oracle databases from various programming languages and environments, including .NET and ODP.NET for ADO.NET applications.
Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) is a comprehensive suite of software components that enables fast and efficient access to Oracle databases from various programming languages and environments like .NET, ODP.NET, ODT with ODP.NET, and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio.
ODP.NET is an implementation of the ADO.NET interface and enables .NET applications to connect to Oracle databases. It provides fast data access and optimized data delivery to .NET clients by using Oracle databases. ODP.NET allows ADO.NET applications to take advantage of Oracle database features like Real Application Clusters, XML DB, and advanced security.
ODT with ODP.NET provides seamless Visual Studio integration with ASP.NET and VB.NET projects. It provides drag-and-drop design-time environments for visually constructing queries and stored procedures. ODT simplifies access to Oracle data by exposing Oracle schemas as .NET objects with support for LINQ.
Together, these components provide efficient and high-performance data access from .NET and Visual Studio environments to Oracle databases with rich support for Oracle-specific features. ODAC reduces development time and expertise required to build .NET applications that use Oracle data.
