Oracle not available in Visual Studio 2013 - visual-studio

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate on a machine which already had Oracle data provider for .net (odp.net) and I wanted to use Entity Framework with Oracle but Oracle connection is not available:
The odp.net was working with Visual Studio 2013 Professional before I uninstalled it.

You need to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio to use any of the database related designers in Visual Studio:

Is a licensed version of Visual Studio required for SSIS solution?

Is it possible to open a SSIS solution using Microsoft's free tools (Visual Studio Team Explorer and SQL Server Data Tools) or does it require a full installation of Visual Studio?
I am trying to do so with just the free tools and am getting an error saying that "this versino of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects" then another one saying the solution I have opened is under source control but not currently configured for integrated source control in visual studio.
We have other users who use the full version of Visual Studio 2017 and it works fine so I am wondering if this is just a limitation of the free products offered by Microsoft.
To edit SQL Server 2005 SSIS packages, you need Visual Studio 2005 and installation of Business Intelligence Designer Studio, BIDS. This required a license, developer edition was sufficient, to access the tooling.
SQL Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 would install into Visual Studio 2008. This too required a SQL Server license as the media only existed on the server media.
SQL Server 2012 would install into both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012. This was delivered in both physical media installations and downloadable tooling which was rebranded to SQL Server Data Tools- BI Edition, now just SQL Server Data Tools and the components were just licensed via click through agreement.
SQL Server 2014 installs into Visual Studio 2013 and was now only available through the download of SSDT.
SQL Server 2016 added a new twist into the mix. It installed into Visual Studio 2015 but it could now create/edit/target SQL Server 2012, 2014 and 2016 packages. This was huge as until this point, as a consultant I would have required 5 different versions of the "same" program on my machine. Now I'd only need 3.
SQL Server 2017 installs SSDT in both Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.
I assume SQL Server 2019 will similarly target VS 2017 and VS 109.
Across all of these versions, if you didn't have Visual Studio installed, the installer would install the Visual Studio shell on your machine so that the project templates would work.
Last I knew, neither Visual Studio Community Edition nor VS Code will work with the SSDT templates so be sure and open the correct product to work with SSIS projects (.dtproj)
The warning/error about "under source control but not currently configured" smells like something is awry with how you have the TFS hook installed but I can't comment on that.
Download and install SSDT 2017 for Visual Studio
You can verify the status of your SSDT installation for Visual Studio by going to the Help, About Microsoft Visual Studio menu and looking for "SQL Server Integration Services." With ... 2017? you can now do a piecemeal install and only pick SQL Server Data Tools (database projects) or SSAS/SSIS/SSRS. Previously, the SSDT-BI install was trio of SS_S and SSDT (no BI) was the database projects.
Previous answer on where SSDT-BI is
You have at lease two options:
Use Visual Studio Community Edition together with SSDT. Still, you have to check its License terms with your Legal department - it might be not legal to use Community Edition in Enterprise.
Use Visual Studio Isolated Shell together with SSDT. More instructions on how to install it. As far as I know, it is legal to use it for debugging.
The VS Isolated Shell is usually installed with SQL Server 2014/16.

Unable to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

I have already installed Visual Studio 2015 and also installed Oracle12c latest version database and I'm trying to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio but it is showing the following error:
On clicking next button it is showing the following error:
What can I do to install Oracle Developer Tools?
As mentioned by #Thomas Oracle does not support Visual Studio 2015.
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio The Oracle Developer Tools
for Visual Studio (ODT) is a tightly integrated "Add-in" for Microsoft
Visual Studio. ODT is free and supports Visual Studio 2013, VS 2012,
and VS 2010
yet but it plans to.
Oracle Announces Plans for Visual Studio 2015 Support Oracle plans to
offer a new version of the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. This new version is
planned to be available within one month of Visual Studio 2015's
Release to Manufacturing (RTM) date. As with earlier releases of
Visual Studio, Oracle has partnered closely with Microsoft as part of
the Visual Studio Industry Partner Program to make this release
possible. Keep an eye on this page or follow us on Twitter for the

Can we directly migrate SQL Server 2008 to 2014 without changing anything in Visual Studio?

We have Visual Studio 2010 with .Net Framework 4.5
and SQL Server version 2008.
We are in the process of migrating SQL Serer 2008 to 2014.
I want to know the steps to migrate to 2014 and is there any settings or extensions or updates to be done for Visual Studio to make it compatible with SQL Server 2014?
For full support of SQL Server 2014 inside Visual Studio, you need to run at least Visual Studio 2012 and have SSDT installed as outlined here.
However, to connect to SQL Server from your application or from Visual Studio and to do basic operations against the database no update to Visual Studio 2010 is required.

Installing Oracle Developer Tools for VS2013

The installer for the latest version of Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio only has options for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 - does anyone know a way to add 2013 to the list? I cannot use VS2013 until I can get this to work.
As of ODT Version 12.1.0.1.2 Visual Studio 2013 is supported:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/newfeatures-084113.html
The Oracle provider is not yet currently built against EF6 so if you are planning on using Entity Framework in MVC5, you need to install EF5 by running "Install-Package EntityFramework -Version 5.0.0" on the Package Manager Console.
If you are starting a bootstrapped MVC5 WebApp don't use the Individual User Account membership provider as it relies on EF6. You can go for one of the many alternate membership providers (http://nugetmusthaves.com/Tag/membership)
ODT is not available yet for VS2013. The current latest release (ODT 12.1.0.1.0) only supports 2008, 2010 and 2012.

"Integration with Visual Studio: Use Server Explorer with Visual Studio 2012 to browse your Oracle schema and launch one of the many integrated Oracle designers and wizards to create and alter schema objects. Use Microsoft Query Designer to visually design queries. Visual Studio 2010 and 2008 are also supported."
