using System.Data.OracleClient with Instant Client

A

Andy Fish

Hi,

I have seen a couple of posts saying that it's possible to use the MS Oracle
provider with Oracle's Instant Client

I unzipped the instant client files into my bin directory but to no avail -
it just says "System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software
version 8.1.7 or greater." - which is the same as it said before I'd put
them there

is any further configuration necessary for this?

AFAIK, ODP.NET does not support the Instant Client at this time.
