📦 Ark.SessionState.Oracle.Provider

Custom ASP.NET Session State Provider for Oracle Database

This package provides a drop‑in replacement for the default ASP.NET SQL session state provider, enabling session storage in Oracle Database using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.

It is designed for classic ASP.NET applications running on .NET Framework 4.7.2.

🚀 Features

Stores ASP.NET session state in Oracle

Uses Oracle.ManagedDataAccess (managed ODP.NET)

Supports sliding and absolute expiration

No external dependencies beyond ODP.NET

Production‑ready for WebForms, MVC, and Web API hosted in System.Web

📥 Installation

Using NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package Ark.SessionState.Oracle.Provider

Using .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Ark.SessionState.Oracle.Provider

⚙️ Configuration

Add the following to your web.config:

  1. Register the provider

<configuration> <system.web> <sessionState mode="Custom" customProvider="OracleSessionStateProvider"> <providers> <add name="OracleSessionStateProvider" type="Ark.SessionState.Oracle.Provider.OracleSessionStateStore, Ark.SessionState.Oracle.Provider" connectionStringName="OracleSessionState" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </sessionState> </system.web> </configuration>

  1. Add the connection string

<connectionStrings> <add name="OracleSessionState" connectionString="User Id=SESSION_USER;Password=YOUR_PASSWORD;Data Source=YOUR_TNS_ALIAS;" /> </connectionStrings>

🗄️ Database Setup

Create the required table:

CREATE TABLE ASPNET_SESSIONS ( SESSION_ID VARCHAR2(80) PRIMARY KEY, CREATED DATE NOT NULL, EXPIRES DATE NOT NULL, LOCKED NUMBER(1) DEFAULT 0, LOCK_DATE DATE, LOCK_ID NUMBER(10), TIMEOUT NUMBER(10), SESSION_ITEMS BLOB, FLAGS NUMBER(10) );

(If you want, I can generate the full Oracle schema including indexes and cleanup jobs.)

🧪 Example Usage

Once configured, ASP.NET automatically uses Oracle for:

HttpContext.Current.Session["key"]

Session expiration

Session locking

Session serialization

No code changes are required.
