Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 16

Your company has a .NET application and wants to deploy it on Autonomous Database (ADB).
What software is used to connect to ADB from the .NET application?

Answer options

• A. SQL*Plus
• B. Java
• C. You cannot use .NET with ADB.
• D. Oracle Data Access Components for Windows

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Oracle Data Access Components for Windows provide the necessary libraries and tools to enable .NET applications to connect to ADB. Option A, SQL*Plus, is a command-line tool for SQL and PL/SQL but does not support .NET connections. Option B, Java, is unrelated as it is a different programming environment and does not apply to .NET applications. Option C is incorrect because .NET can indeed be used with ADB when the appropriate components are utilized.
