Response to: Oracle - how to validate connections
Has anyone actually gotten this to work? I have tried both ODP 9.0.4.01 and 9.0.7 with the same result: System.ArgumentException: Keyword not supported: 'validate connection' When adding "Validate Connection=true;" to the connection string. Also tried other variants with similar results.

  Hi, I just tried it with version 9.2.0.7 and it gives no errors. So i suppose it works in this version.
