High-Availability Oracle features

ODAC doesn't use native Oracle client's libraries.

However, we need some important features of Oracle Net that standart Oracle client provides.

We use Oracle RAC (real application cluster) - we have two instances of the same DB on two different servers. We use two ADDRESSes on the connection descriptor - so it's uses connection load balancing, connection failover.

Does ODAC support this technique?

No, Net option doesn't support such functionality.

We bought ODAC Net.

How can we use ODAC with standard Oracle client libraries?

To make ODAC use Oralce client libraries set TOraSession.Options.Net to False.
