The Microsoft EF team is currently designing unique constraint support in EF. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/efdesign/archive/2011/03/09/unique-constraints-in-the-entity-framework.aspx. Vote for this to make sure this is also supported by DevArt's provider.

Let user filter objects, available in the EDM Wizard, by owner/grants/privileges/etc.

Add support for Oracle 8 and 9.1

Additional options for dynamic database creation:
- whether to create named constraints
- naming rules for primary keys, foreign keys, sequences, triggers
- identity column processing for Oracle database
- specifying tablespace for Oracle database

Implement functionality <ProviderName>EntityProviderConfig in Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite via *.config file of your application. Currently it can be done only in code: http://www.devart.com/blogs/dotconnect/index.php/new-features-of-entity-framework-support-in-dotconnect-providers.html .

Implement a workaround for Entity Framework bug
( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/682429/how-can-i-query-for-null-values-in-entity-framework )
so that users don't need to write a more complex LINQ to Entities query to avoid this bug.

I would like to have an Oracle ssdl gererated for my sql model.edmx. This would make using dotconnect with EF much more realistic for lots of customers.
A t4 template that uses the sql ssdl from the edmx file and generates a matching oracle ssdl would be a good solution. Is it as easy as just updating the types?

I would like to see the CONTAINS and CTXCAT
funtions in the OracleFunctions class. For example:

var result = from x in ents.MyTable
where OracleFunctions.Contains(ctx_text_col, 'test WITHIN TITLE OR test WITHIN NAME') > 0
select x;

This would pretty much remove any requirements I have for writing plain old SQL.

Details are here: http://www.pabich.eu/blog/archive/2012/05/16/Entity-Framework-migrations-donrsquot-support-parallel-development.aspx

Add a possibility to force creating parameters for a query, no matter a constant or a variable is passed in the Where clause.

Add possibility to configure provider behaviour in a more flexible way.

Capability to assign an ID generator (for example, Sequence, Guid, Increment, or Hi-Lo) to a Primary Key column.

Add a method to the OracleFunctions class to allow me to inject my old SQL snippets into the executed query. i.e.

var result = from x in ents.MyTable
where x.MyThing > 10
&& OracleFunctions.CustomSQL("MyFunction(:MyID, :MyThing) > 1", new OracleParameter("MyID", x.ID), new OracleParameter("MyThing", x.MyThing))
select x;

would result in something like the following

SELECT
"Extent1".ID, "Extent1".MyThing
FROM
MyTable "Extent1"
WHERE
"Extent1".MyThing > 10
AND MyFunction(:MyID, :MyThing) > 1

One of the complexities of testing your data layer is to ensure that the database exists with the expected data. With EF code first, its becoming increasingly difficult to know how to clear the data in the database before seeding it with test data and running the tests.

Using the configuration in the DbContext, provide the means to clear all data from the database, or a table taking the various constraints and relationships into account.

Add a support for delayed insert for MySQL

dotConnect for MySQL fails using Contains ('') LINQ function.
