How would I be able to tell, given it’s a database in a third party application? Even if this were the cause, I’d expect it to handle the issue a bit more gracefully…

You’re probably running some 1.5 server or similar outdated version.

Found DDEX (was expecting it to be part of the MSI, but apparently not)…Although I can now connect to it, I still get:—————————Microsoft Visual Studio—————————An error occurred while connecting to the database. The database might be unavailable. An exception of type ‘System.Data.EntityCommandExecutionException’ occurred. The error message is: ‘An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.The inner exception caught was of type ‘FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbException’, with this error message: ‘Dynamic SQL ErrorSQL error code = -104Token unknown – line 6, column 8SELECT’.The inner exception caught was of type ‘FirebirdSql.Data.Common.IscException’, with this error message: ‘Exception of type ‘FirebirdSql.Data.Common.IscException’ was thrown.’.’.—————————OK —————————

How do I install DDEX? There’s no option for it in the MSI, or is it a separate download?

You have to install DDEX. The Add References dialog is reading the files from path defined in registry, independently from installation of some tools.

I’ve installed the MSI, but I don’t have the option to use the provider in the wizard (I’m using VS 2008) – I also don’t see the provider in the “Add References” dialog. Are there manual steps that need to be done to use this?

There’s nothing special on EdmGen2, if you have working EdmGen, it simply works.Anyway, did you put FirebirdClient into GAC and register in machine.config?

Guys, please provide an example usage of EdmGen2 with the Firebird provider. Every time I’m trying it out (and it’s been a few times already) I’ve ended up abandoning it because of the same error:Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: The specified store provider ‘FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient’ cannot be found in the configuratin or it’s not valid. —> System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.Either your installer is not doing the installation right or I’m missing something else. Please advice.Best regards,Padcom

FYI (part 2): the download link at the top of this article does not work in Opera, Safari or IE 7 either.

Finally. I can confirm: it works for me with and only with the FB version 2.5.0.22512.Thanks, Jiří.

I’ve checked now the 2.5.0.21381 FB snapshot build and it’s working fine as well as my previous.

Hi Jiří, I’m afraid you’re wrong. I’ve double tested the database created under FB 2.5.0.20343. It doesn’t work with the EDMX designer. The wizard produces the ouput I’ve described previously: no relationships generated, all data columns are set as entity keys.The FirebirdClient is set to use the 2.5.0.20343 driver.The EdmGen prints some warnings and errors:warning 6035: The relationship ‘*********’ has columns that are not part of the key of the table on the primary side of the relationship which is not supported, the relationship was excluded.error 0075: Key Part: ‘***********’ fortype ********** is not valid. All parts of the key must be non nullable.Any bit of hope for fixing things up?Regards,Cezary

It’s fixed in post-2.5 Alpha 1. At least your 2.5.0.20343 should work, because I’m using little bit previous version.
