This property specifies the Oracle data type to bind the parameter as, but returns a .NET type as output.

Declaration

// C#
public OracleDbType OracleDbTypeEx { get; set; }

Property Value

An OracleDbType enumerated value.

Remarks

This property is used by applications that need to bind a parameter value as an Oracle type, but need a .NET type back for output. This property should be used with an output or input/output parameter. For an input parameter, using OracleDbTypeEx has the same affect as using OracleDbType. The .NET type that is returned for the output is the .NET type that the Oracle type closely maps to.
