[Firebird-net-provider] Entity Framework, Firebird and Guid

2009-06-15 Thread Jonas Blaausgedacht
Hello,

when i create a SQL-Server database with an uniqueidentifier typed field as 
primary key the entity wizard creates an entity with a System.Guid typed 
field. Is something like that possible with FirebirdSQL? It would be really 
usefull if i can have System.Guid as a field in an entity.

 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.
