    Hi @PhilZ ,

    I recently answered a similar question.
    Check it out here: Microsoft SSIS Connector to Oracle - doesn't work with Visual Studio 2019

    UPDATE
    One of the huge benefits of the Microsoft SSIS Connector to Oracle, it doesn't require Oracle Client installation at all. It comes with its own Oracle ODBC driver. One of the best from the perspective of performance.
    Please see below.

    Hi @PhilZ ，

    The following Microsoft SQL Server products are supported by Microsoft Connector for Oracle:

    Since SQL Server 2019 CU1
    SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) 15.9.3 or later for Visual Studio 2017
    Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio 2019

    The following Oracle database versions of data source are supported:

    Oracle 10.x
    Oracle 11.x
    Oracle 12c
    Oracle 18c (without Windows Authentication support)
    Oracle 19c (without Windows Authentication support)
    The Oracle database is supported on all operating systems and platforms.

    After you install the Connector, you must restart the SQL Server Integration Service to be sure that the Oracle source and destination can work correctly.

    In addition, the oracle connection could be use named as Oracle source and destination.

    Thanks @Yitzhak Khabinsky and @ZoeHui-MSFT for the help.

    yes it worked this time.

    Some couple of questions...

    1. I have tried to connect using TNS Name and connection failed.

    using other driver, connection succeeded..

    And I am seeing different Oracle in SSIS toolbox... Is this correct or expected?

    1. I have seen during my google search about EZ connect ... do you have a sample how to add it on existing tnsnames.ora file?

    Update - I think I got it.... Please ignore this part.

    1. Do you have any suggestions on Oracle driver/provider which is not obsolete and best in terms of performance?

    What is your opinion about the ODP.NET vs Microsoft Connector for Oracle.?

    Thanks.
