Oracle or Microsoft .NET Data provider for accesing Oracle database

191493Dec 2 2007 — edited Dec 18 2007
Hello,

To access Oracle database from .net application, which is a better choice:
1. Oracle Data Provider for .NET (Oracle.DataAccess.Client namespace)
2. Microsoft Oracle Managed Provider (System.Data.OracleClient namespace)

Is the difference great for a small application ?

Both providers require Oracle client to be installed.
So while distributing application, 'Oracle client' will have to be bundled in the 'setup' file. How ?

Thank You
