Retry Policy for Oracle DB Connections 🔄¶

Package: SAIF.Platform.EntityFramework

Added comprehensive retry policy for Oracle Database connections, enabling applications to handle transient connection failures gracefully.

Key Features:

✅ Default Error Handling - Retries on error 12570 (cannot open database connection) by default
✅ Extensible Configuration - Allows applications to add custom error codes for retry handling
✅ Easy Integration - Simple extension method for adding Oracle context with custom execution strategy

Benefits:

🚀 Improved reliability for applications connecting to Oracle databases
🔄 Reduced application failures from transient network issues
🎯 Flexible configuration for application-specific retry requirements

Example:

// Create a custom execution strategy with additional error codes
public class MyExecutionStrategy : OracleExecutionStrategy
{
    public MyExecutionStrategy(ExecutionStrategyDependencies dependencies)
        : base(dependencies, [12345, 67890])  // Add custom error codes
    {
    }
}

// Use in your builder configuration
builder
    .AddOracleDbContext<PremiumAuditContext, MyExecutionStrategy>();
