From InfoQ:
Microsoft announced System.Data.OracleClient will be deprecated after .NET 4.0. Classes in the namespace will be marked obsolete in .NET 4.0 and removed from future releases. OracleClient is the ADO.NET provider for Oracle developed by Microsoft and shipped as part of the .NET Framework Class Library.
Part of the reasoning for this decision is the increasingly availability and improvements of 3rd party ADO.NET data providers for Oracle. There have been significant performance improvements and enhanced multi-version compatibility among the popular Oracle providers:
- Oracle's free Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) ODP.NET 11g is compatbile with all versions of Oracle Database back to 9.2, and multiple versions can coexist in a single OS
- DataDirect ADO.NET Data Provider for Oracle 100% managed code, free trial
- Devart dotConnect for Oracle Formerly known of as OraDirect.NET, free trial, supports Entity Framework, LINQ to Oracle, and ASP.NET Provider Model
