.NET Forum / Languages / C# / March 2008Linq across oracle, access?
Hi Is linq just for Sql Server or can you use if for Oracle, Access etc > Is linq just for Sql Server or can you use if for Oracle, Access etc LINQ to SQL is just for SQL Server (and SQL Mobile). LINQ itself is a very general, nebulous term. The ADO.NET Entity Framework is a pluggable ORM which incorporates LINQ and will support drivers for multiple databases.

It means you wouldn't be able to use LINQ to SQL with it. You need to be very precise about what you mean: "LINQ" is too general a term in this case. Jon You should be able to use the Entity Framework LINQ provider: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/bursteg/archive/2007/12/07/ado-net-entity-fra mework-oracle-provider-support.aspx As Jon observes, "LINQ" is a very vague term. For example, NHibernate is getting a LINQ API; and I'm pretty sure NHibernate supports Oracle.

Writing a full provider (not a toy) is a lot of work, and even though some work has been done, it's still a lot of work to get everything implemented.

Within a month you will, using LLBLGen Pro and our linq provider. It goes into beta this week.
