.Net Core Framework with Entity Framework for Oracle

Question

We are building a new Web API and want to use the following -

1. ASP.Net Core Web Application in .Net Core Framework
2. Oracle 11g
3. Latest Entity Framework for Oracle

Can you please help us with the following -

1. Verify that the latest version of Entity Framework for Oracle is Entity Framework 6.
2. If the above is true, what would be the best approach to use that with .Net Core Framework (our understanding and experience is that EF 6 is not compatible with .Net Core Framework)

Thanks Much!

Hi DeveloperAM,

>>Verify that the latest version of Entity Framework for Oracle is Entity Framework 6.

Yes, Currently there is no Oracle provider for EF Core. For more information, please refer to:

https://docs.efproject.net/en/latest/providers/index.html

>>If the above is true, what would be the best approach to use that with .Net Core Framework (our understanding and experience is that EF 6 is not compatible with .Net Core Framework)

Yes, Entity Framework 6 does not support .NET Core. If you need cross platform features you will need to upgrade to Entity Framework Core.

In addition, Since your application is a asp.net web application, I would suggest that you could post your issue on asp.net forums for better support.

I developed a Web API using .NET CORE and using the ORACLE database. There is still no official provider released by Oracle, so the solution was to use this third-party provider.

It works very well for me.
