C# / Oracle Connection without Oracle Client

210930Sep 19 2003 — edited Sep 4 2006

I'm new to C#, so apologies if this is a silly question.

I'd like to create an application in C# that establishs an Oracle connection to a remote Oracle server. The catch is, I'd like the application to be portable...meaning, I would like to be able to take this self contained executable from machine to machine without having to install the Oracle client software on each box. It seems like everything I've read says that the Oracle client is required. Is this true?

It is possible to create a JDBC connection using Java without installing the Oracle client, I'm wondering if it's possible to do something similar w/ C#.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
