And declare the binding either on the machine.config for the whole server or in the web.config of the particular web app

<system.serviceModel>
    <extensions>  
        <bindingElementExtensions>  
            <add name="oracleDBAdapter" type="Microsoft.Adapters.OracleDB.OracleDBAdapterExtensionElement,Microsoft.Adapters.OracleDB, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />  
        </bindingElementExtensions>  
        <bindingExtensions>
            <add name="oracleDBBinding" type="Microsoft.Adapters.OracleDB.OracleDBAdapterBindingSection,Microsoft.Adapters.OracleDB, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />  
        </bindingExtensions>
    </extensions>
</system.serviceModel>
