title: VS 2013 + Update 5 + EF 6.1 + Oracle
body: <p>I have question on connecting Oracle 11 from VS 2013 and Entity Framework 6.1.3 with Database First</p>
  
  <p>Earlier our project developed using VS 2010 and connected oracle using entity framework. </p>
  
  <p>Now, we are planning to upgrade to VS 2013 and Entity Framework 6.1.3. For that I have done the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Installed "32-bit Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio"</li>
  <li>Added Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll and Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework.dll</li>
  <li>Tried to "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" but while adding the connection with the provider (Oracle Database (ODP.NET, Managed Drivers)). 
  I'm getting an exception "ORA-12537: Network Session: End of file". after this it is not allowing me to proceed further in this. </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Also, I tried to create data connection using "Oracle Database (ODP.NET, UnManaged Drivers)", it is connecting but I'm not sure this approach is correct or will this lead to any other issue ? </p>
  
  <p>Please suggests me how to connect to oracle 11 from VS 2013 with EF 6 and Database first approach.. </p>
  
  <p>I referred the following links for connecting the oracle from VS 2013</p>
