Not sure what do you mean by "Deploy". If you mean what is the correct connectionstring to connect to Oracle 8.0.5 then the answer it is not different than what you would use
for any other Oracle version. Basically if you are using the Microsoft .NET Managed Provider for Oracle then it would be:
"data source=Oracleds;user ID=xyz;password=xxx"
If you are using the Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle then it would be:
"Provider=msdaora;data source=Oracleds;user ID=xyz;password=xxx"
If you are using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle then it would be:
"DSN=myDSN;UID=xyz;PWD=xxx"
Note that oracleds would be the alias or hostname for the oracle server. myDSN would be the ODBC Data Source name that points to the oracle server.
Also the above connection strings are irrelevant to the Oracle server version.
I hope this helps!
