The field in Oracle database is of NUMBER(5), and when I generate EF models from the oracle database, it converts the field into "Int16". There are some of the rows for that field having values such as "50000", etc, so Int16 is throwing error for obvious reasons. Now I tried changing it to Int32, and also Decimal in EF models, but it is now giving an error saying -
Member Mapping specified is not valid. The type 'Edm.Decimal[Nullable=True,DefaultValue=,Precision=,Scale=]' of member 'Field1' in type 'MyApp_Models.MyTable' is not compatible with 'OracleEFProvider.number
Any idea what is wrong here, and what is possible solution of this?
Any help on this much appreciated.
