Do you know if there out there a free Oracle Data Provider for entity framework 6? I could only get the Devart one, but it has a paid license.
I need this, since we are working with an Oracle db with boolean properties map as char(1) and EF5 does not support this kind of feature.
Thanks in advance
NET (ODP.NET) is Oracle's high performance ADO.NET compliant data provider that exposes a complete set of Oracle specific data access features and tuning options including support for Real Application Clusters, XML DB, and advanced security. It is available for free download from the Oracle Technology Network website.
The stored procedure will also return the modified data using an implicit resultset. The resultset metadata is defined by the developer in a . NET config file so that Entity Framework can properly retrieve the data. This section shows how to modify Oracle database data programmatically in Entity Framework.
Managed ODP.NET does not require any Oracle Client installation. The final step is to configure the database server connection, which is specific to your application environment. A sample Oracle connect descriptor and connection string have been created.
I don't think there currently there an Oracle provider for EF6 from Oracle but DevArt has shipped an EF6 compliant provider. See this blog post for more details. Make sure to download the latest version (the post is dated a bit). I tried their EF6 provider for MySQL and it worked so I assume the Oracle one will work too.
