Back in ASP.NET core RC1, the full .NET 4.5 framework was supported, and I have been using Oracle Managed Client to connect to Oracle Databases.
In RC2, and RTM, the full .NET framework is not supported, and instead only .NET standard is. This means that the Oracle Client is no longer compatible with .NET Core.
Are there any alternative options in connecting to Oracle databases?
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio is a tightly integrated "add-in" for Visual Studio. This tight integration makes it easy to create ASP.NET Web Applications that access Oracle database without requiring the developer write much code.
To connect to Oracle Database from SQL*Plus: If you are on a Windows system, display a Windows command prompt. At the command prompt, type sqlplus and then press the key Enter. At the user name prompt, type your user name and then press the key Enter.
To use Oracle in EF Core, we need to install Oracle. EntityFrameworkCore in your project using Package Manager Console window. It will get all the packages required for EF Core. Now, you are ready to start your application.
The full .NET Framework is supported in RC2 and beyond.
