Oracle Data Provider for .NET

Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) delivers high-performance ADO.NET access to Oracle AI Database. Developers can tap into advanced Oracle features, including AI vector search, JSON-relational duality views, self-tuning statement caching, Application Continuity, and Deep Data Security.

ODP.NET comes in three types.

  • ODP.NET Core: For cross-platform applications.
  • Managed ODP.NET: For .NET Framework.
  • Unmanaged ODP.NET: The classic provider, requiring Oracle Database Client.

ODP.NET 26ai includes async programming, OpenTelemetry, EF Core 10, and centralized cloud configuration for every major hyperscaler.
