Entity Framework Database First and Model First Requirements

Oracle's support for Entity Framework Database First and Model First has the following version requirements:

  • ODP.NET 11.2.0.3 or higher

  • Microsoft Entity Framework 4 or higher, up to and including the 6.x versions.

If using Visual Studio tools, then use Visual Studio 2010 or higher and install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio.

Note:

Entity Framework 6 is not supported natively at this time. Some Visual Studio versions may default to Entity Framework 6. If so, set your .NET project to use an earlier version of Entity Framework when running on version 6.
