Getting oracle metadata - (OleDbConnection-GetOleDbSchemaTable)
626597Mar 4 2008 — edited Mar 5 2008Hi
Microsoft has a library System.Data.OracleClient.
Since System.Data.OracleClient does not support CLOB, BLOB and XmlType data types; means it has limited functionality, we are trying to use odp.net.
Problem:
Microsoft also has a library System.Data.OleDb where you can find an object OleDbConnection.
That object has a method GetOleDbSchemaTable, where you can provide different parameters to get different oracle metadata.
Example parameters:
OleDbSchemaGuid.Foreign_Keys, OleDbSchemaGuid.Primary_Keys, OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables,...
My question is what the oracles odp.net substitution for this is (which method)? How to do that with odp.net?
Or does this library also have a limited set of objects to use?
