Answer 1

Note that the trace will default to go in the root of the C drive. For Windows 7 and later, this requires administrator privilege or it will just fail silently. So either make sure your app is running as administrator or that you change the path of the file.

Also note, that if you want to trace ODP.NET fully managed, you need to put the settings inside the app or web config file, not the registry, AND the settings for TraceLevel are different (1 through 7).

And finally, when tracing unmanaged ODP.NET remember that there is a separate WOW registry node for 32 bit Windows. If your app is 32 bit, don't accidentally set it under the 64 bit portion of the registry.
