Deploying .NET Database Extensions to a non-Microsoft .NET implementation

717950 Aug 18, 2009 5:42 PM

Hi, I am exploring the possibility of running .NET extensions over an open soource implementation of .NET, specifically the Mono project (http://www.mono-project.com). The kicker here is that my platform is Linux. Does anyone know with certainty if this is currently supported or will ever be supported by Oracle?

I know that Oracle uses SlrAgent to spawn an external process to run CLR Host. So, my question is really double-proned:
a) Can the Oracle CLR Host run on top of Mono?
b) Can SlrAgent be installed on a Linux version of Oracle?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, Oracle does not support our .NET technologies on a Linux platform using the Mono port of the .NET Framework for Linux. Hence our ClrAgent service has not been ported to Linux and the Oracle Database Extensions for .NET (ODE.NET) will not work on a Linux platform with the Mono .NET Framework and an Oracle Database. Currently, there are no plans to support it. However, I will make your desire known and pass your request along to the product manager.

Thanks,
Geoff
