Description

Usage

client_name = oraclient.Name

field_name = orafield.Name

parameter_name = oraparameter.Name

paramarray_name = oraparamarray.Name

session_name = orasession.Name

server_name = oraserver.Name

subscription_name = orasubscription.Name

Remarks

oraclient.Name returns the name of the specified OraClient object. This value is always "<local>".

orafield.Name returns the name of the specified OraField object. If this is a true database field (not an alias), this usage returns the name of the field as it appears on the server. If a SQL statement was executed that contains, for example, calculated select list items or column aliases, then the name is the actual text provided in the SELECT statement.

oraparameter.Name returns the name of the specified OraParameter object. In addition to identifying the parameter within a parameters collection, the parameter name is also used to match placeholders within SQL and PL/SQL statements for the purposes of parameter binding.w

oraparamarray.Name returns the name of the specified OraParamArray object. In addition to identifying the parameter within a parameters collection, the parameter name is also used to match placeholders within SQL and PL/SQL statements for the purposes of parameter binding.

orasession.Name returns the name of the specified OraSession object. For automatically created sessions, this is the name assigned by the system (usually a hexadecimal number). For user-created sessions, this is the name originally provided in the CreateSession method. Once created, a session name cannot be changed.

oraserver.Name returns the name of the physical connection of the specified OraServer object.

orasubscription.Name returns the name used to represent the subscription. Name here refers to the subscription name in the form of the string 'SCHEMA.QUEUE' if the registration is for a single consumer queue and 'SCHEMA.QUEUE:CONSUMER_NAME' if the registration is for a multiconsumer queue.
