I got it atlast guys! Followed this tutorial: [this video] But be aware of the default constractor of the context class because if you don't controll it, you will get an error. Follow this link to check what to take cure of with the default constractor: Add Controller in MVC4 not working [LINK] especially the answer by Arnaldo237 . You will need ODP.net so that provider name Oracle.DataAccess.Client can work. Enjoy your code at Home.... happy....

I believe this means that if you are able to compile your code against Entity Framework 5 (i.e., you're not leveraging any features only available in Entity Framework 6), then the same code would function under Entity Framework 6. You might try checking out this [this video] to get a feel for how to use the Oracle developer tools with Entity Framework.

Edit: Oracle has now released a version (11.2.0.3.20) of Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio that works with Visual Studio 2012 and .NET 4.5. You'll need this version (or higher) of these tools for Visual Studio 2012 Entity Designer support and other Visual Studio 2012 integration. Get it here: [LINK] Edit #2: Visual Studio 2013 is supported beginning with version 12.1.0.1.2 FYI - I created a video to highlight some of the other features of these tools: [this video] Christian Shay Oracle
