Deployment of C# app which connects to Oracle database

simple q开发者_高级运维uestion here. If I develop an app in C# which connects to Oracle, I need to have oracle client installed on the client machine. My questions are :

1. Do I have to install the full client (or Instant client), or I can deploy just few dlls with my C# app ?
2. Same question but not for C# but for Java app. Is the Oracle client required there ? Can I simply deploy few dlls instead of installing the full client ?

Thank you

From poking around on the Oracle site, it looks like what you want is the "Instant Client" download.
