If you encounter the error message "[500] Cannot find library file: System.Data.CData.OracleOCIw.dll," it typically indicates that your PATH environment variable is missing the necessary Oracle assemblies. This error occurs because the Oracle OCI driver relies on various other assemblies, and to load them successfully, you need to include the folder paths containing these assemblies in your PATH environment variable.
