  2. 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().

  6. Oracle's JSONVALUE function supports a stynax like JSONVALUE(Column,"$.path.to.property" RETURNING data_type [number,date,timestamp])

    OracleJsonFunctions.Value function should cover this functionality and allow developers can write queieries like below
    context.Entities.Where(t=> OracleJsonFunctions.Value(t.Json,"$.SomeScalarValue")> 1);

    Adding "Error on Erro"r or "null on error" syntax generation would also be nice.
    JSON_VALUE function details :

  8. A global option to insert indexes rather than foreign keys should be an option. There are many of us that do not use foreign keys for reasons of updating databases and performance while indexes used instead actually improve performance with the model able to maintain the association.

    This is a low hanging fruit guys and will improve everyone's performance of the models. Please consider.

    This is should be a universal option for all frameworks.

  11. Entity Framework translates binary code to SQL query text then SQL Server has to parse this text, compile and execute.
    Why Entity Framework and SQL Server can't comunicate directly using a binary protocol?

  13. 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.

  17. 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.
