Hello!
OpenLink EF provider is great in that it can be used with almost any
relational database. But unfortunately it doesn't work without Virtuoso.
It would be great to move the database independence mechanism from
Virtuoso to the provider itself. I have no idea how difficult it is to
implement... but it would be a great competitor for DevArt providers.
When you de-construct EF you will find that to do it right you need a
Virtual DBMS. Virtuoso is a VDBMS :-) Unlike ODBC, you cannot simply
write an EF compliant data providers that actually works with acceptable
performance. Entity Frameworks is the commencement of Microsoft into the
very terrain already covered by Resource Description Framework :
Mappings:
Entity vs. Resource .
.NET Runtime vs. Web .
Both are about Concrete interaction with a Concrete Conceptual Layer
exposed via Entity Relationship Graphs.
Anyway, we will take a look at DevArt's stuff and also provide some
feedback re. what they are doing.
