By far my knowledge goes with oracle the answer is No you have to install client in order to communicate with your DB in case of Oracle . Once you install Oracle Client make sure you make an TNS entry too

Is there any way to package the application along with oracle client? Instead of installing oracle client seperately cant we build and exe which includes oracle client?

Manikadan in your PC the application is working fine becuase in your laptop or PC there is a database installed so you dont need a client to communicate to ORacle DB. Whereas in user machine when you are deploying exe WPF make sure that Oracle Client is installed on your user machine and main database is on suppose godaddy or bigrock . If you dont have cloud database then install Oracle DB on users machine then oracle client is not needed . NOTE: Make sure you install 32 bit client as it is compactible with most PC or laptops
