Hello,

in my project I should have to detect a database connection error. When this error is tracked, than i'll try to reconnect to the database. Is there a simple way to achieve this with the given set of classes in oradirect.net?

I found the method OracleUtils.IsFatalError(OracleException). What is this function for? Can i use it for tracking connection problems?

Best Regards,

Ulf Hillig

Try to use OracleConnection.Error event to obtain the error information.
OracleUtils.IsFatalError is used to determine if you can use the current connection further without reopening after the error.
