Can someone tell me if my following assumptions are true or not.

1. You have to have the oracle client installed to use Microsoft's Oracle
..Net managed provider.

2. The Oracle Client is not free to redistribute so you have to buy a
license for every computer that you want to install your application to
(since the application wants to access the oracle db remotely)


If I can redistribute the oracle client, can I package it into my installer?
If I can't redistribute it, how can I talk to a remote oracle db from my
..net application?

Thank
Chris

Yes. This is true.

I heard that the Oracle client is not freely redistributable, but cannot
speak for Oracle's license terms.
If I can't redistribute it, how can I talk to a remote oracle db from my
.net application?

How about using System.Data.OleDb ?
and the Microsoft OLEDB driver for Oracle (I believe included in MDAC, and
redistributable)?
