Our next Oracle EF Core release will support EF Core 3. We're hoping to have the production release by end of this year.
We're discussing whether to have an EF Core 3 private and/or public beta. If you are interested in a beta, send an email to dotnet_us (at) oracle.com. We'll then contact you if and when a beta is available.
We're evaluating EF 6.3, but have not decided to support it. We have not seen much Oracle customer interest in using EF 6.3 with ODP.NET EF Core.
Thanks for the response. I'm planning the transition of our products from the full framework to core and EF6.3 support would make that much more manageable. Some of the complex queries involved (currently in EF6.2) are hopeless with EFC2, however EFC3 is netcore only. Switching the ORM and the runtime at the same time is a risk I'd rather avoid. I'm not particularly interested in migrations, edmx, etc, only the code first EF runtime.
Hi Alex,
Are you sure ?
For us, without EF 6.3 with ODP.NET EF Core, Its impossible to migrate applications to .Net Core !
EF core for exemple doesn't support store proc binding !
Regards,
Are there any (official an inofficial) news concerning the closed/pulic beta or any release date for EFC3/ EF 6.3? For our planning it would be very helpful knowing your (exact) roadmap.
Thank you.
Best regards,
André
Right now, we're planning for an Oracle EF Core 3 beta early in 2020. The production release will depend on the beta feedback and testing results as we proceed.
Our original beta and production plans got delayed as the dev team assessed the work needed. It's more work than anticipated. Additionally, we made changes in the current Oracle EF Core provider such that the 19.5 version is certified with EF Core 2.1. EF Core 2.1 is the long term MS support release, while EF Core 2.2 is short term. This Oracle EF Core 19.3 version was certified for EF 2.2 only.
If you would like to be informed of when the beta and production dates occur, you can send an email to dotnet_us(at)oracle.com or subscribe to the Twitter handle @OracleDotNet.
EFCore 3.1 was retargeted to netstandard 2.0 recently (see https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFrameworkCore/issues/18141). Will Oracle EF Core 3 also target netstandard2.0? This would greatly help with the transition from framework to core.
Please open source the provider and let .net community do the job fastest. We upgrade our apps to .NET Core 3.1 but because of oracle provider we cannt upgrade Entity Framework Core and it is still at 2.2
In my 30+ year career, I've never seen a company dragging themself soooo bad!It's a sign of weakness and obvious decline.No wonder the DoD put them aside.
I would also wait for EntityFramework 6.3/6.4 support for Oracle on .net core. That would really help with migrating existing code.
Still waiting.
Maybe it would be better to disable official support of EntityFramework Core?
Me and my team are waiting for the new release!
P.S. I want to add my vote for MIT license and github repository of oracle ef library with 3.0/3.1 support.
I have working ODP.NET Managed Driver with Entity Framework 6.4 on .NET Core 3.1 application.
Anyone interested ? More information in my github holajan/OracleCore3EF64Sample where is sample project.
