Develop your Oracle Database applications
Overview
The Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Oracle Database is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) custom binding. Client applications can consume the Oracle Database adapter to invoke operations on Oracle database artifacts. The Oracle Database adapter can be consumed:
Through a physical port binding in a BizTalk Server solution.
By invoking methods on an instance of a .NET client proxy.
As a hosted WCF service.
By sending SOAP messages over a channel instance in code that uses the WCF channel model.
