How to connect to Oracle db with Entity Framework & ODP.NET Managed Driver

977106Nov 29 2012 — edited Jul 10 2013

Oracle Data Provider for .NET, Managed Driver Installation Guide, Quick Start, and Release Notes for Release 11.2.0.3.50 Beta suggests that it supports Entity Framework.

I've followed the steps in the Quick Start and have a command line project which successfully connects to an Oracle db via the means outlined.

Now I would like to connect to an existing Oracle DB to use EF database first to create and Entity Data Model (edm), however, the ODP.NET Managed Driver is not available as a means of connecting. I tried going to the Server Explorer to create a connection, and it is not available there either.

Can you please tell me the steps necessary to connect to a db using EF and ODP.NET Managed Driver?

Respectfully,

David C
