This is a common error using the Odp.net link ORCL database and requires configuring the system environment variables.
Here's how to fix it:
Locate the following path file: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
Note: It's a good idea to back up before modifying ....
Add the following configuration file to the <configSections> node.
<configSections>
<section name="oracle.unmanageddataaccess.client" type="OracleInternal.Common.CustomSectionHandler, Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.121.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
<section name="oracle.dataaccess.client" type="System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler, System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
<section name="oracle.manageddataaccess.client" type="OracleInternal.Common.ODPMSectionHandler, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess, Version=4.121.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
................
................
</configSections>
Add the following configuration to the <system.data> node
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<add name="ODP.NET, Unmanaged Driver" invariant="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" description="Oracle Data Provider for .NET, Unmanaged Driver" type="Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory, Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.121.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
<add name="ODP.NET, Managed Driver" invariant="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" description="Oracle Data Provider for .NET, Managed Driver" type="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess, Version=4.121.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
However, the ADO provider with the fixed name "Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" is not registered in the computer or application configuration file or cannot be loaded, but is not processed in user code.
