entity framework asynchronous programming support ODP.NET

There is feature request since 2014. How is this not implemented yet from database provider like Oracle? Thanks.

Async programming has a long history in .NET.
In fact, three different patterns exist. The latest is the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP).
What Oracle has seen with the first two patterns is async interest, but few customers actually using it. That has made us cautious about supporting async too quickly. It's likely MS saw tepid interest as well, which would likely be why they re-engineered the pattern two more times until arriving at TAP.
Now that TAP has has established a good track record of use, Oracle is working on an implementation. I'll have more details on a delivery date early in 2022. Right now, the Oracle .NET team is focused on a new VS Code tools release and supporting .NET 6 and EF Core 6.
