Entity Developer now features full Entity Framework 7 compatibility for dotConnect for Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, along with third-party providers for MS SQL Server (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient), and other databases. EF Core 7 version supports Table per Concrete type (TPC) inheritance, whereas other EF Core 7 features will be developed and implemented soon, taking into account features, the users requested the most.
dotConnect for Oracle, dotConnect for MySQL, dotConnect for PostgreSQL, dotConnect for SQLite: EF Core 7 is supported. It functions both on .NET 6 and .NET 7 as EF Core 6 does, thus apparently, it is currently impossible to include support for both of them in brackets of a single NuGet package. From now on, NuGet packages with EF Core support shall come in two versions that are different in the absence/presence of .7 indicator as a package revision number. The packages that have .7 in their revision number will have only EF Core 7 assemblies included, whereas the packages without .7 will have the assemblies for EF Core 1, EF Core 3, EF Core 5, and EF Core 6 for inheriting projects that, for some reason, remain running previous EF Core versions. Thus, we provide the EF Core 7 support for those users that prefer to use the most recent ORM version, whereas continuing support for the previous versions to ensure all our users have access to the newest bug fixes and functionality improvements.
