Question

We are working on a project that uses EF5.0 to connect to an Oracle 11g R2 database. We are using Oracle's own EF provider.

Now we would like to convert EF 5.0's DbGeography types to Oracle Spatial. This is not supported by all EF providers.

Is it supported by Oracle's own EF provider?

I cannot find any documentation on it here: Oracle EF Provider

And when trying to find the answer on Google, I can only find websites related to Devart's dotConnect EF provider, or related to SQL Server.

P.S.: We are extending the code generation routines of the provider heavily, and we have found that Oracle's own EF provider is much much simpler to extend than the one of Devart, so that's the reason we're not switching to Devart. So please, don't answer with 'use Devart's dotConnect'.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Currently ODP.NET does not support EF spatials. Please take a look at these links:
