Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework compatibility with .NET 5/6 #260

Open peterburrell opened 1 year ago

peterburrell commented 1 year ago

Apologies in advance if this is not the right forum for this question. Are there any plans to make Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework compatible with .NET 5/6? I understand that it is probably not a priority but providing compatibility with .NET 5/6 (as other EF6 providers have done) would give customers an easier migration path from .NET Framework to .NET without having to port their existing data models to EF Core at the same time. Is this something that's has been considered at all? Thanks!

It has been considered by the Oracle .NET team. To date, we haven't seen much demand for this feature.

Thanks for the response. We have a few .NET Framework applications with large data access layer projects using EF6. We are exploring options to incrementally migrate these applications to .NET 6. Being able to re-use our existing data access libraries in our .NET 6 projects would reduce the amount of code we would need to port and test as we migrate functionality.

Thanks for at least considering it!

It may not have a huge amount of demand because .net6 is FAIRLY new, but I do think that support is only going to be more and more. I for one would be happy to have it.

Same, we have tons of .NET apps using EF6. Adding my comment to show there's interest.
