Oracle Database also provides Oracle Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Drivers.
17.1.2 About ODP.NET
Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) is an implementation of a Microsoft ADO.NET data provider for Oracle Database.
ODP.NET uses Oracle native APIs to offer fast and reliable access to Oracle data and features from any .NET application. ODP.NET also uses and inherits classes and interfaces available in the Microsoft .NET Framework Class Library. For more information, refer to My Oracle Support Note 726240.1.
17.1.3 About Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
The Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (ODT) is a tightly integrated "Add-in" for Microsoft Visual Studio.
ODT integrates with Visual Studio to make it easy to browse and edit Oracle schema objects using integrated visual designers and can automatically generate .NET code through a simple drag and drop. Developers can modify table data, execute Oracle SQL statements, edit and debug PL/SQL code, generate and edit SQL scripts, and develop and deploy .NET stored procedures. There are many more features included with these tools. For more information, visit the ODT web home at:

17.1.4 About Oracle Providers for ASP.NET
Starting with .NET Framework 2.0, ASP.NET includes service providers that store the state in databases.
By storing this state in a database, applications can ensure high availability of data, while making the data equally available to all web servers.
17.1.5 About XML Support
Oracle XML products include XML Developer's Kit (XDK) and Oracle XML SQL Utility.
17.1.6 About Support for Internet Applications
Oracle Database support for internet applications includes Oracle WebCenter Portal, which enables you to publish your data to the web, Oracle Web Tier (Oracle HTTP Server), and PL/SQL Embedded Gateway, which offers PL/SQL procedures stored in Oracle Database that can be started through browsers.

Note:
Oracle Portal is not supported on Oracle Database for Microsoft Windows (x64).
Oracle Database provides built-in mechanisms that address the requirements of the largest PHP, Ruby, Python Web, and Rich Internet Applications. The features include extreme connectivity, scalability, caching, nonintrusive performance acceleration, advanced security, and high-availability.
17.1.7 About Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
With Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server, Oracle Database can be a resource manager in Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) transactions.
Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server act as a proxy for Oracle Database to the DTC.
17.1.8 About Oracle ODBC Driver
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) provides a common C programming interface for applications to access data from database management systems.
Access to databases is managed by the ODBC Driver Manager. The driver manager provides the linkage between an ODBC application and an ODBC driver for a specific database management system.
Oracle ODBC Driver provides access to Oracle databases for applications written using the ODBC interface.
Oracle Technology Network has both Oracle home based ODBC driver and Instant Client enabled ODBC driver.
