.net - Does Entity Framework support Oracle 10g? -

is there way utilize entity framework oracle 10g? trying create entity model cannot see info source oracle. appreciate help.

thanks,

yes, sort of. ef standard interface. need install provider first.

entity framework implemented via interface implementations providers each specific database. have find provider oracle. 1 utilize devart dotconnect. should able utilize oracle's latest 12c managed provider 10g. typically develop across 10g - 12c databases single client , toolset , have no compatibility issues using 11g or 12c providers against 10g. if unsure, oracle publishes compatibility matrix of client versions server versions.

entity framework, not, within itself, implement back upwards oracle, must reference appropriate assemblies include ef provider.

same goes linq sql.

you may find multiple ef providers given database platform.
