I have recently been trying to set up a .Net application which will connect to an oracle database using object relational data types, I would like to do this using the Linq-Sql framework, however when using tools such as DbLinq it does not seem to allow for the object relational data type.
So I was wondering if anyone knows a way to do this?
Thanks, Alex.
Oracle has been working on, and is now beta-testing, their Entity Framework provider:
ODAC Entity Framework and LINQ Beta has arrived! Itincludes support for Entity Framework, LINQ to Entities, Model-First, Entity Data Model Wizard, and more.
They've even posted a tutorial using Model-First development.
According to their statement of direction, they plan to have this production-ready sometime in 2011.
I've been meaning to test this out but I haven't had the need to in any current projects. It's a shame -- a year or so back I would have really appreciated this ;-)
Let me know how it is!
