Dear users,

We are glad to announce the new features that are available in the Entity Framework support in the latest version:

Generation of OUTER APPLY statement in Entity Framework is supported for Oracle 12c
VARCHAR2/NVARCHAR2/RAW types with length increased to 32KB are supported for Oracle 12c
Oracle 12c specific SQL generation for paging is supported
The behaviour is changed: Code-First/Code-First Migrations generate columns with the identity clause 'GENERATED AS IDENTITY' for entity key properties with 'Store Generated Pattern=Identity' (only for Oracle 12c)
The behaviour is changed: Code-First Migrations generates DEFAULT 0 for new NOT NULL columns of numeric types when adding them in the existing table (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DB2)
The behaviour is changed: Code-First Migrations generates DEFAULT EMPTY_CLOB() for new NOT NULL columns of CLOB/NCLOB types when adding them in the existing table (Oracle)
The behaviour is changed: Code-First Migrations generates DEFAULT '' for new NOT NULL columns of CHAR/NCHAR/VARCHAR2/NVARCHAR2 types when adding them in the existing table (Oracle)
The behaviour is changed: Code-First Migrations generates DEFAULT '' for new NOT NULL columns of string types when adding them in the existing table (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DB2)
The bug with performing queries via the ExecuteStoreQuery, SqlQuery methods in Entity Framework 6 is fixed (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL)
The bug related to work in Entity Data Model Wizard with Oracle 9.2 is fixed (Oracle)

New features in the Entity Framework support!
