Sql – How to change database from SQL Server to Oracle with SubSonic

oraclesql serversubsonic

I write code with SubSonic 2.1.1 and used MSSQL. The project must be run with Oracle now.
I changed web.config, and it does not work. Can someone give me a sample which changes database only – changes web.config with subsonic and the rest doesn't change?

Table name in MSSQL is "Name" but in Oracle is "NAME". Can subsonic
generate "Name" code for oracle?

Based on this question your connections string will need to look like the following (obviously replace xxxxx with your database values):

<connectionStrings> 
  <add name="oracle" connectionString="Data Source=xxxxxxxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxxxx;Password=xxxxx;" providerName="System.Data.OracleClient"/> 
</connectionStrings>

Re. your second question, Oracle is not case sensitive. See this question for more details

Syntax:

ALTER TABLE {TABLENAME} 
ADD {COLUMNNAME} {TYPE} {NULL|NOT NULL} 
CONSTRAINT {CONSTRAINT_NAME} DEFAULT {DEFAULT_VALUE}
WITH VALUES

Example:

ALTER TABLE SomeTable
        ADD SomeCol Bit NULL --Or NOT NULL.
 CONSTRAINT D_SomeTable_SomeCol --When Omitted a Default-Constraint Name is autogenerated.
    DEFAULT (0)--Optional Default-Constraint.
WITH VALUES --Add if Column is Nullable and you want the Default Value for Existing Records.

Notes:

Optional Constraint Name:
If you leave out CONSTRAINT D_SomeTable_SomeCol then SQL Server will autogenerate
a Default-Contraint with a funny Name like: DF__SomeTa__SomeC__4FB7FEF6

Optional With-Values Statement:
The WITH VALUES is only needed when your Column is Nullable
and you want the Default Value used for Existing Records.
If your Column is NOT NULL, then it will automatically use the Default Value
for all Existing Records, whether you specify WITH VALUES or not.

How Inserts work with a Default-Constraint:
If you insert a Record into SomeTable and do not Specify SomeCol's value, then it will Default to 0.
If you insert a Record and Specify SomeCol's value as NULL (and your column allows nulls),
then the Default-Constraint will not be used and NULL will be inserted as the Value.

Notes were based on everyone's great feedback below.
