Dapper.net Oracle parameter

Question

I am trying to use Dapper.net with Oracle.

From this post i understood that we could use parameters with no prefixes and dapper would then work for both sql se

Answer 1

Yes, you misunderstood the post. The SQL is passed through as-is, and must contain the correct :param1 or @param1 etc. The "no prefix at all" is talking about the code that you don't see - specifically, making sure that the code does (via some mechanism):

cmd.Parameters.Add("param1", 963);

vs

cmd.Parameters.Add("@param1", 963);

vs

cmd.Parameters.Add(":param1", 963);

The first (no prefix) is the correct and preferred option.

If you want the SQL in your code to be parameter agnostic, you could use the information from here: Get the parameter prefix in ADO.NET

The SQL is rarely close enough, however, that just looking up the parameter prefix will fix all problems.
