Thread Safety

All public static methods are thread-safe, although instance methods do not guarantee thread safety.

Example

// C#
 
using System;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
 
class OracleBinarySample
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    // Initialize the OracleBinary structures
    OracleBinary binary1= new OracleBinary(new byte[] {1,2,3,4,5});
    OracleBinary binary2 = new OracleBinary(new byte[] {1,2,3});
    OracleBinary binary3 = new OracleBinary(new byte[] {4,5});
    OracleBinary binary4 = binary2 + binary3;
    
    // Compare binary1 and binary4; they're equal
    if (binary1 == binary4)
      Console.WriteLine("The two OracleBinary structs are equal");
    else
      Console.WriteLine("The two OracleBinary structs are different");
  }
