New database provider list #632
Conversation
> EF Core providers are built by a variety of sources. Not all providers are maintained as part of the Entity Framework Core project. When considering a provider, be sure to evaluate quality, licensing, support, etc. to ensure they meet your requirements. Also make sure you review each provider's documentation for detailed version compatibility information. | ||

This markdown table is read-optimized. It should be easier to review it using two screens 😄

@mairaw this PR removes some low-value pages from the EF Core docs. Ideally they would all redirect to providers/index.md. Anything I need to do? |
@mairaw FWIW, it appears that the pages don't get removed, at least in the preview site. |
@mairaw I think I got how to do the redirects now, but feel free to review the master redirect file. |
fix typo (from PR#630)

# EF Core In-Memory Database Provider | |||
|
|||
This database provider allows Entity Framework Core to be used with an in-memory database. This is useful when testing code that uses Entity Framework Core. The provider is maintained as part of the [EntityFramework GitHub project](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework). | |||

Maybe "This can be useful for testing, although the SQLite provider in in-memory mode may be a more appropriate test replacement for relational databases."
The Oracle .NET team has announced they are planning to release a first-party provider for EF Core 2.0 approximately in the third quarter of 2018. See their [statement of direction for .NET Core and Entity Framework Core](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/tech-info/odpnet-dotnet-ef-core-sod-4395108.pdf) for more information. | ||
Please direct any questions about this provider, including the release timeline, to the [Oracle Community Site](https://community.oracle.com/). | ||
|

In the meanwhile, the EF team has produced a [sample EF Core provider for Oracle databases](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFrameworkCore/blob/dev/samples/OracleProvider/README.md). The purpose of the project is not to produce an EF Core provider owned by Microsoft, but to help us identify gaps in EF Core's relational and base functionality which we need to address in order to better support Oracle, and to jumpstart the development of other Oracle providers for EF Core either by Oracle or third parties. |

Maybe add "We would welcome and encourage a community effort to create an open-source Oracle provider for EF Core, using the sample as a starting point."
