Here are a few quick announcements about ADO.NET providers supporting the Entity Framework. Enjoy!

 

Core Lab (Connectivity to Multiple Data Stores)

Core Lab was the first ADO.NET provider writer to support Beta 3 of the Entity Framework. Their provider includes connectivity to Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite databases.

IBM

IBM has released a public beta for their ADO.NET provider that works with Beta 3 of the Entity Framework. For more information, see the announcement on the following page: https://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=203893. IBM also demonstrated their provider in an end-to-end application building scenario using the Entity Framework designer at recent VS Live conference in San Francisco.

 

MySQL

At the recent MySQL conference in Santa Clara, Reggie Burnett and I co-presented a session talking about MySQL, LINQ and the ADO.NET Entity Framework. As part of the session, we demonstrated using LINQ, Entity SQL and ADO.NET Data Services to access a MySQL database using Beta 3 of the Entity Framework.

 

Note: Big thanks to Reggie for helping to make this demo work even after injuring his knee. Get well soon.
