> Firebird doesn't have direct support for guids.

Not native in Firebird but maybe with your Provider. By using "smallint_bool" 
in the ssdl i can use boolean in entities which isn't supported too. When i 
follow your advise from here 
<http://blog.vyvojar.cz/jirka/archive/2007/07/08/guid-in-firebird.aspx> and 
then generate entity classes from the database the wizard creates Entities with 
Strings. If i try to save something into the Database i get an exception which 
complains about malformed Guids. Can you suggest a Datatype that's close to the 
128 bit of a Guid that i can use in the storage and conceptual model of the 
edmx?

P.S. the combination of firebird with its small footprint and easy installation 
and the entity framework is really great. beside my small guid problem 
everything works flawless and rock solid.
