Creating the Data Model

There are two approaches to creating the context and entity classes for your application. Using the Code-First Approach approach, you can fine-tune your model by writing the classes manually. Alternatively, you can use Reverse Engineering (Scaffolding) to generate these classes automatically from your Oracle OCI schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After EF Core is set up and the Oracle OCI provider is registered, you can begin querying your data with LINQ:

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

OracleOciContext ents = new OracleOciContext();
var CustomersQuery = from Customers in ents.Customers
                   orderby Customers.City
                   select Customers;
