OracleParameterCollection Class
Assembly: System.Data.OracleClient (in system.data.oracleclient.dll)
When using named parameters, the number of parameters in the collection must be equal to the number of named parameters within the command text, or the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle raises an error.
The .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle does not support the question mark (?) placeholder for passing parameters to an SQL statement called by an OracleCommand of CommandType.Text. In this case, named parameters must be used. For example:
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID = :pCustomerID
When using named parameters in an SQL statement called by an OracleCommand of CommandType.Text, you must precede the parameter name with a colon (:). However, in a stored procedure, or when referring to a named parameter elsewhere in your code (for example, when adding OracleParameter objects to the Parameters property), do not precede the named parameter with a colon (:). The data provider supplies the colon automatically.
The following example creates multiple instances of OracleParameter through the OracleParameterCollection within the OracleDataAdapter. These parameters are used to select data within the database and then place the data in the DataSet. This example assumes that a DataSet and an OracleDataAdapter have already been created with the appropriate schema, commands, and connection.
