title: Different version of ODP for connecting Oracle
body: <p>I am using <strong>Oracle Client</strong> to connect oracle from <strong>.net</strong>. Now I since Oracle-Client is depicted by Microsoft. So I wanted to use ODP instead.</p>
  
  <p>I have searched and found there are different <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/newfeatures-084113.html" rel="nofollow">versions of ODP</a> available. I am just confiscated.</p>
  
  <p>Reasons:-</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Do the different version (ODP) are for different dot net framework</li>
  <li>Or the different version of ODP is for different version of Oracle.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am using Oracle 11.2 G and .net framework 4. Which version of ODP should I use.<br/>
  Further If my database is moved to oracle 12C will I need to change my code (Different ODP).</p>
