Oracle .NET Data Provider merupakan satu komponen di dalam .NET Framework yang menyediakan akses kepada Oracle Database menggunakan Oracle Call Interface (OCI) yang tersediaa pada perisian Oracle Client.

VB.NET SAMPLE #01 – Basic configuration (Konfigurasi Asas)

Imports System.Data.OracleClient

Dim oOracleConn as OracleConnection = New OracleConnection()
oOracleConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost; " & _
"Persist Security Info=True; " & _
"User ID=yourid;Password=yourpass;Unicode=True"

oOracleConn.Open()

VB.NET SAMPLE #02 – Configure a connection string for oracle in the Web.config file

Di Web.config, tambahkan ConnectionStrings element di dalam Configuration element

<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyOracleConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;
Persist Security Info=True; User ID=yourid; Password=yourpass; Unicode=True"
providerName="System.Data.OracleClient" />
</connectionStrings>

Kemudian untuk menerima connectionStrings tersebut di form anda…

Imports System.Web.Configuration
Imports System.Data.OracleClient

Dim oOracleConn as OracleConnection = New OracleConnection()
oOracleConn.ConnectionString = & _
  ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyOracleConnectionString").ConnectionString
