I am using ODAC 11.2 r4 to create an entity model in visual studio 2010. Right now I am testing out what all the wizard will auto generate off my oracle database and I would like to figure out how to generate documentation based off the database. I have set comments to both my table and columns, but that isn’t shown on the entity side. Is there a way I could have my documentation automatically generated off these comments or some other string I set on the database side?
Unfortunately, EF does not support this out of the box. Not even for SQL Server. However, there are some 3rd party tools out there which support this. For SQL server: Entity Framework SQL Server Document Generator (free). And for Oracle dotConnect for Oracle (Commercial). (v. 6.70 supports transferring comments to the Summary attribute.)
