We are using Entity Framework database-first for our Oracle database.

For some reason Number(5) becomes Int16 – short

Max Number(5) value is 99999
Max Int16 value is 32767

Problem… is there a way to instruct the mapper to translate Number(5) to int32?

    Solved it, Added this to the web.config:

    <oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="int16" value="edmmapping number(4,0)" />
<add name="int32" value="edmmapping number(9,0)" />
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>

    Recreated the Model with the *.edmx file and…

    Now Number(5) is Int32 instead of Int16
    and Number(10) is Int64 instead of Int32

    I hope it’ll help someone else in the future…
