Devart Forums

I'm attempting to use dotConnect for Oracle within a package that will be used within SQL Server 2008 databases as a CLR assembly. When I attempt to create Devart.Data into an assembly, I get an error message saying that System.Drawing is not installed. When I added System.Drawing to my project and redeployed, another .Net assembly was missing. The conclusion I get from this is that dotConnect for Oracle makes use of libraries that aren’t in SQL Server and don’t need to be in SQL Server. And that in order to use dotConnect for Oracle for our purposes, we will either need to load up our database with a lot of otherwise unnecessary assemblies, or find a different Oracle provider.

Is there an official word on using dotConnect for Oracle in this fashion? Is there a version of dotConnect for Oracle that provides the connection functionality without requiring all these additional libraries?

The list of Devart.Data.dll's references:
System.dll
System.Data.dll
System.Drawing.dll
System.Windows.Forms.dll
System.Xml.dll

Devart.Data.Oracle.dll includes these references:
Devart.Data.dll
System.dll
System.Data.dll
System.Drawing.dll
System.EnterpriseServices.dll
System.Transactions.dll
System.Xml.dll

Devart.Data.dll and Devart.Data.Oracle.dll of all dotConnect for Oracle editions have the same references.

For some reason, System.EnterpriseServices refuses to compile to a working assembly in our project. This makes the Oracle component unusable for this project. We will find another solution. Thanks for responding.

Could you please specify the exact text of the error you are getting with System.EnterpriseServices.dll?
