  4. Have a way to automate mappings for complex types in tables.

    I had this situation happen to me:
    I had a complex type that has 6 properties and this complex type was used about 20 times in a single table. I had to go to the Mapping Editor and type in the mapping names for these 120 fields. This was very time consuming and tedious especially since that Editor doesn't make doing mass edits very easy to do.

    I know Microsoft's Entity Framework designer will automatically do these mappings for you. It would be great in this capability was added to your designer.
    Perhaps do something like:
    Table.CPropIndex0
    Table.CProp    Index1…

  5. Template for DTO Generation

    An additional template for generating DTOs for use in services where Self Tracking POCO entities are insufficient. Perhaps with some sort of repository implementation for converting the DTOs to "true" POCO's in the same template.

  9. Outer Join on Old Oracle Databases

    I realize that you don't have support for OUTER JOIN (+) on Oracle 8i. I know that it's an old database, but we have clients that still have this working.

  12. Better support for numeric ID fields

    Numeric ID fields are most of the type generated by Oracle triggers (as a proper auto-incremented field type is missing). I would like to configure that for a model any numeric field with the name "ID" is set by default to AutoGeneratedPattern "Identity"?

    I know you guys can't guess from the DB which fields are generated by a trigger but allow us to configure which fields we want to work that way.

  15. Support for Workflow Persistence

    Windows Workflow (WF) uses a Persistence Provider for long running tasks. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412184.aspx) There is a CodePlex site (http://wftools.codeplex.com/) offering some help for persisting to non MSSQL databases. I would love to see DevArt add this as a feature in their dotConnect products.

  16. Enum support

    Support for enum data types, e.g.:

    public enum Status : long
    {
    Active = 0,
    Inactive = 1,
    Delete = 2
    }

    So code can be much more readable: .Where(o => o.Status = Status.Active)
