No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client'

Question

After installing Entity Framework 6.0.1, I keep getting an error

MAXModel.ssdl(2,2) : error 0152: No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET provider

Answer 1

The current version of the Oracle Managed ODP is not compatible with EF 6, learned this the hard way. Use EF 5 instead.

There is a ticket open at oracle support, I can't find it right now though.

EDIT

I got another upvote on this today, so I thought I'd add that the newest version of ODP.net now supports EF 6.

EDIT AGAIN

Since a while back an official ODP.NET entity framework package is available at nuget (link)
