EFCore Spatial support for EFCore 2.2?

Post by rhuijben » Fri 07 Sep 2018 07:48

Hi,

Microsoft is adding Spatial support to their EFCore SQLServer and SQLite implementations for EFCore 2.2 using NTS, which is now in preview and should be released later this year.
https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/308

Any news when Spatial support will be (re-)added to the Devart Oracle driver?
(The preview version is now on NuGet, and with some binding redirects works with the current Devart EFCore support)

We would really like some way to fetch Geo information from Oracle for prototyping some new code based of EFCore. Npgsql already implemented Spatial support for EFCore 2.1, and Microsoft is trying to make their implementation as compatible as possible
(see their announcement)

I hope it shouldn't be to hard to add support for this, based on the existing support in EF 6.0. I tried to workaround the limitation via an EFCore ValueConverter, but this currently breaks when the column type is a Devart OracleObject, as the DevArt driver currently doesn't allow backing columns of this type.


Thanks,
Bert
