O-Connector is a lightweight ADO.NET-compatible client library for connecting to Oracle database through the high-performance binary protocol of O-Bridge.

It is designed specifically for use with OrmFactory - a modern developer tool for schema-first modeling and ORM code generation. O-Connector enables OrmFactory to connect to Oracle in a fast and resource-efficient way, without relying on heavyweight native drivers.

• ADO.NET DbConnection, DbCommand, DbDataReader implementations
• Binary protocol optimized for latency and memory usage
• Async-first API for efficient I/O
• Full support for Oracle-specific types (e.g., INTERVAL, NUMBER, DATE)
• Optional Zstd compression
• SSL options (none, required and strict modes)

Use O-Connector if you:

• Need fast, low-allocation access to Oracle
• Want to avoid installing native drivers (like Oracle Instant Client)
• Are working in sandboxed, cross-platform, or containerized environments
• Are using O-Bridge as a backend protocol layer
