Oracle Developer Tools (ODT) & Visual Studio 2017 Integration

Question

I need to create ADO.NET model from Oracle 12 DB . We are using VS2017 . I've installed ODAC and ODT for VS ( 2015 , since there is no version for 2017 ) according to recommendations in internet. However, EDMX model creation dialog does not show up Oracle DB in data source list (it's present in Connect to Database dialog section though). My suspicion is ODT for VS2015 is not compatible with VS2017 . Is it true? What i also tried to do was to add ODT.Net.Managed key to Registry with proper path to corresponding DLL, but this did not help either. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Oracle Developer Tools for VS2017 (12.2.0.1.0) is now available for download. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/downloads/odacmsidownloadvs2017-3806459.html

BUT, big BUT:

It does NOT work in VS2017 Community Edition. It does work for the PRO and Enterprise editions. See here: https://community.oracle.com/thread/4009365?start=37&tstart=0

不幸的是，针对VS2017的ORACLE ODT不可用，ORACLE已承诺VS2017多年，但最新信息是它们遇到了麻烦，VS2017将在得到解决后立即得到解决。
