  3. Our corporate DB server names change frequently. Because of that, we'd like to use LDAP url to connect to the oracle server. There were several requests for this feature in the forums. I hope you can make this a high priority.

  4. Each RDBMS supports additional functions which are exposed in EF. Problem is that the same functions are exposed with different names. For example:

    if (isSqlServer)
    query = query.Where(p => SqlFunctions.StringConvert(p.BankId));
    else // is Oracle
    query = query.Where(p => OracleFunctions.ToChar(p.BankId));

    However this makes code less readable and a bit harder to maintain, due to it being redundant, not to say that it doesn't attend database-ignorance.

    This would be better:

    query = query.Where(p => EntityFunctions.ToString(p.BankId));

    As I think this is the most common scenario, it could be just p.BankId.ToString().

  7. It's great when devart creates my database from the models I have created. But I believe it could at least create index for relations created between objects, or it could ask me which indexes I would create. It would really help.

  9. We'd like to use TimesTen as standalone database without Oracle DBMS and use EF. The ODP.NET provider does not support EF for TimesTen as documented: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/win.112/e21641/toc.htm#BHAHDIEC
    We'd like to have EF Code First: Create Database and Code-First Migrations functionality for TimesTen

  10. Different platform database like,MS SQL. MY SQL and Oracle communicate with ASP.net application. Here my requirement is that do not want to use store procedure because all 3 database platform syntax different, so using entity framework create single *.edmx file and communicate.

  13. 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?

  14. 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

  15. 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.
