I am trying to connect to my oracle database using following connectionstring.

"Provider = OraOLEDB.Oracle;  User Id = <my id>; Password = <my password>;Data Source = <db schema name>";


But getting following error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified


Please let me know what should be correct connection string.

What I have tried:

Is the "db schema name" defined in TNSNAMES.ORA? From the error message it doesn't sound like it.

Your connection string is trying to use the OLE provider:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/index-089115.html

This means you need to have the provider installed on any machine that the application will run on. As RyanDev said, check out https://www.connectionstrings.com/oracle/ for various ways to connect to an Oracle DB.
