Best Data Provider for Oracle

Hello,

There are 3 Data Providers who are possible to use with Oracle. ODP.NET, .NET Data Provider for Oracle and .NET Data Provider for OLE DB.

Which is better (in performance, security and other topics) ?
Does exist another Data Provider ?
ODP.NET access the Oracle API, and the others ?
Which is the best for LOB fields ?

Please, if someone knows an answer, let me know.

Best Regards

    All are the same except Oracle provider will be faster and have more Oracle specific functionality. This is because it is connecting directly to the Oracle database rather than going through ODBC or OLEDB layers which add overhead.
