This property specifies the data type of the parameter using the Data.DbType enumeration type.

Declaration

// C#
public override DbType DbType {get; set; }

Property Value

A DbType enumerated value.

Implements

IDataParameter

Exceptions

ArgumentException - The DbType value specified is invalid.

Remarks

Default = DbType.String

DbType is the data type of each element in the array if the OracleParameter object is used for Array Bind or PL/SQL Associative Array Bind execution.

Due to the link between DbType and OracleDbType properties, if the DbType property is set, the OracleDbType property is inferred from DbType.
