Can Entity Framework 6 be used in a .NET Standard project?
EF 6 supports .NET Standard 2.1, which is currently supported by .NET Core 3.0 or later - no .NET Framework version. EF 6 also supports .NET 4.0 and 4.5 or later.

Some clarification, since EntityFramework 6.3.0
.NET Standard 2.1
has been supported. However there is no .NET Framework
version that supports .NET Standard 2.1
. Comment from Microsoft:
NET Framework won't support .NET Standard 2.1 or later versions. For more details, see the announcement of .NET Standard 2.1.
This means that a majority of all applications using EntityFramework 6.X
won't be able to use the .NET Standard 2.1
project anyway.
