Oracle is pleased to announce that Oracle database support for Entity Framework Core 7 (EF7) is now available. Download Oracle EF7 for free from NuGet Gallery. 

Entity Framework Core 7 (EF7) Release Candidate 1 has shipped! The team focused on addressing defects, minor enhancements, and putting the finishing touches on features. 

Entity Framework Core 7 (EF7) Preview 7 has shipped with support for several new interceptors, as well as improvements to existing interceptors. 

However, it is clear that Microsoft’s future direction is in the Core space . Yes, the last update to the full .NET framework did include improvements for ASP.NET and WebForms, but clearly the future innovation and hard work will be in the new core frameworks like .NET core, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework core, and whatever other cores come along in the future. 

I’m happy to announce the release of Oracle Entity Framework Core (EF Core) 3.19.0 beta on NuGet Gallery. This beta supports the new changes in Entity Framework Core 3.1. Since it’s a beta, be sure to check off the “Include Prerelease” box when searching for the assembly on NuGet Gallery.

This blog posts shows how to unit test controllers that use data from Entity Framework Core.
