WCF Data Services and OData for Oracle Database

Here is a good step-by-step tutorial that I followed

WCFDataService returns XML from Oracle database and is queryable through URLs



Sample Queries:

http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/

Query EMPLOYEES table
http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/EMPLOYEES

Query for EMPLOYEE_ID = 100
http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/EMPLOYEES(100M)

Query for the FIRST_NAME of EMPLOYEE_ID = 100
http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/EMPLOYEES(100M)/FIRST_NAME

Count number of rows
http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/EMPLOYEES/$count

Query first two EMPLOYEES results
http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/EMPLOYEES?$top=2

Query for EMPLOYEES with LAST_NAME = KING
http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/EMPLOYEES?$filter=LAST_NAME eq 'King'

Query for EMPLOYEES paid more than 10000 per pay period
http://localhost:21759/WebSite28/WcfDataService.svc/EMPLOYEES?$filter=SALARY gt 10000
