I have installed Visual Studio 2010 and Oracle 11g in my Window 7.
Oracle seem to be fine because i can connect to System user, Create user and create database.
But the problem is that I can not connect the Oracle to my VB.net project and there is no System.Data.OracleClient Namespace. Do I need to install Oracle Client in my computer even though i have installed Oracle Server?
You have to install Oracle Data Provider for .net, which is a separate download. Older oracle versions relied upon OleDb, but newer versions provide their own Data Provider.

I'm currently creating a solution for a software that were developed in 2005 and beside using some more modern technologies, the company wants to keep supports of the old windows embedded compact edition based phones until they can replace everything.
I tried using ErikEJ's Export2SQLCE and SqlCEcmd command tools and thought I found the solution, until I realised the older application is using SQL Server CE version 3.0, whereas ErikEJ's can only convert to 3.5 or 4.
Is there any way to convert an existing SQL Server table into SQL Server CE version 3.0?
If not, is there any way to connect into a SQL Server CE file (.sdf) from a nodejs server and send queries?
Thanks!
I am new to SQL Server and trying to familiarize myself with it, so I have some questions.
My background is Oracle and am wondering if it works very similar to SQL Server.
On a client machine we need to install a client version of Oracle, and with the installation it comes with a TNSNames.ORA file which has settings for all of the Oracle DB's which are located on an Oracle DB server.
I would assume that SQL server would follow something similar, install a client version of SQL server? If so, does SQL Server has something similar to local Oracle?
I've found how connect to SQL server from another computer, just wondering if I still would need a slim down/client version of SQL Server, I would assume yes.

Some of you might be asking, why don't you try it, don't have my second computer yet, would like this info. ahead of time.
Thank you
SQL Server client APIs include the low-level components needed to connect to and use SQL Server so there is generally no need to install other connectivity components. To name a few Microsoft ones:
ODBC: Latest version is ODBC Driver 13.1 for SQL Server
OLE DB: Latest is SQL Server 2012 Native Client
.Net Provider for SQL Server (SqlClient): included .NET framework
JDBC: Latest Microsoft version is 6.2
There are also a number of other open source and commercial APIs available for use in various programming languages and development frameworks (e.g. Tedious for Node.js).
The SMO-libraries are for a specific version of SQL Server.
So , is there any possibility to use different SMO libraries , in the same VB.net application in order that my application works regardless of SQL server version?
Thank you !
Yes! You can use older version of SMO-libraries for both servers. I used SMO-libraries from SQL Server 2008R2 in C# apllication and powershell script to migrate DB from 2008R2 to SQL Server 2005. Thus, there shan't be problems and when using VB.net.
Do I need to have oracle software in my machine for migrating data from oracle to sql azure using SSMA?
Error Message is like ...
Connection to Oracle failed.
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
You need to download and install oracle client from this link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/downloads/index.html
and chose 32-bit or 46-bit version to be able to connect to oracle DB
I have an Oracle server (version 9, I believe) and a MS SQL server (version 2000). The MS SQL server is running MS Windows Server 2003.
I would like to use DTS to extract some data from the Oracle server and pour it into the MS SQL server. I'm having problems finding out what driver I should install on my MS SQL server for it to be able to communicate with the Oracle server. (I don't really care if it's ODBC or a "native" Oracle driver.)
When I looked at this a while back I was stunned by the sheer number of different Oracle drivers and versions out there. Any help with a direct link to the exact Oracle driver recommended would be greatly appreciated, and I wouldn't mind any other helpful tips you could provide either. :) (Apart from upgrading the server/OS, that's not going to happen any time soon...)
I understand that it's the Instant Client that I'm being recommended to install, but more specifically for my situation, on the page http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html, are these the two packages I should install?
Version 11.1.0.6.0
Because it's the latest version, and it should be able to connect to Oracle 9.
Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
Because "all installations REQUIRE the Basic package", per information at the bottom of the Oracle webpage.
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications
Because I need to use ODBC.
Have I understood this correct?
My first choice would be the Instant Client: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html
Although this was not available for 9i, the 10g client will certainly connect to 9i without any problems, and the 11g probably would also.
