The OracleDatabase constructor instantiates a new instance of the OracleDatabase class using the supplied connection string.

Declaration

// C#
public OracleDatabase(string connetionString);

Parameters

• connectionString

  The connection information used to connect to the Oracle Database instance.

Remarks

The connectionString follows the same format used by the OracleConnection object. However, the OracleDatabase constructor accepts only the user id, password, data source, and dba privilege connection string attributes. All other attribute values are ignored. The supplied connectionString must contain the dba privilege connection string attribute that is set to either SYSDBA or SYSOPER.

The OracleDatabase object creates a connection upon construction and remains connected throughout its lifetime. The connection is destroyed when the OracleDatabase object is disposed. This connection is not pooled to be used by another OracleDatabase object.
