  hi,
  i have create a  new project.
  now in the set database screen, i am trying to connect to oracle db, but it gives me error.
  "There was an error trying to connect to the Database Server:
  System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater."
  
  we are using oracle 9, what could be the reason for this error.
  can you explain me the step to connect to the oracle db. i am very much new to both .net 3.5 and oracle also.
  
  thanks

  Hi amar koli,

  
  

  Thank you for using our services.

  
  

  Could you, please take a look at the following resources on configuring Oracle to work with .NET. They relate to the issue you are experiencing:

  Connection failure

  Hello amar koli,

  
  

  Could you please try to set the character set for the DB to UTF8 and then try to run the website again?

  Hello amar koli,

  
  

  Thank you for getting back to me.

  
  

  I have tried to reproduce this with a newer version of the Oracle. I am using 11g and had no problems importing template data. Could you try to create a project using another template and see what the result would be? On a side note - the officially supported versions of Oracle are 10g +.

  
  All the best,
