OracleConnection(string, OracleCredential)

This constructor instantiates a new OracleConnection class instance using the provided connection string and OracleCredential class.

Declaration

// C#
public OracleConnection(string connectionString, OracleCredential orclCredential);

Parameters

connectionString

connection string that does not contain any of user id, password, DBA Privilege, proxy user id, nor proxy password.
orclCredential

OracleCredential object containing user credentials. If this parameter is passed as null then the behavior of OracleConnection will be same as OracleConnection with normal connection string.

Remarks

Use this constructor to create a new OracleConnection object with an OracleCredential object containing user credentials and a connection string that does not contain any of user id, password, DBA Privilege, proxy user id, nor proxy password.

ODP.NET uses a modified connection pooling algorithm with OracleCredential, which is described in more detail in the section Connection Pooling with OracleCredential.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException is raised when non-null OracleCredential object is used with a connection string containing any of user id, password, DBA Privilege, proxy user id, or proxy password.
