Firebird .NET provider for Entity Framework is back

Well, not so back as you might think, but the incompatibility between Beta 3 and SP1 Beta 1 is gone. I’ve done some new methods etc. so it’s now at least able to work in totally simple cases. In next weeks I’ll try to review all the changes and push the support little bit further. You can download current state from weekly builds.

    I haven’t tried SP1 Beta.Still stuck in Beta 3, untill SP1 finalized.In Beta 3, sql generated by Fb EF need lot more optimized, some join and casting may not need at all (just judging from debug console, :P ).Any good news on this ?

    The SQL generator isn’t completely finished yet. But also take into account that the maybe for you’re select some join/casting/whatever can be eliminated, but this generation *must* for *every* case, so it must be pretty common.

    Hi! I’m trying to add some entities into the model. When I create new project and select all tables from my database no one entity is generated. When I select number of tables, entities are generated, but relations – are not. And EF asksme all fields be not nullable (I have some fields in DB that can be nullable)And when I’m trying to “Update Model from Database” i’m receiving an error “Error retrieving objects from database. Error: object reference not set to an instance of an object”What is the problem? Using last build of FirebirdClient (21 Jun 2008)

    Better to try EdmGen for first shoots.
