Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Future of .NET Provider

[Jiří Č. <ji...@ci...>]

With the Firebird 3.0 Beta 2 release a few days ago, I would like to ask when we could expect the .NET Provider working with it, also in combination with Entity Framework (with support for new datatypes like

Provider works with FB 3 (with legacy auth). With the new encryption etc. I don’t have any ETA. Mark is doing the implementation in Java, so maybe we’ll join forces. Without some investment from community it’s not going to happen quickly.

Boolean).

The SQL boolean has slightly different NULL/Unknown logic than .NET null (or any “normal” NULL) and EF does not expect that. Although it’s not difficult to add support, the logic in C# code is damn confusing.

In that fashion, how about Entity Framework 7 - which will be released on 20. July (with the new Visual Studio) - will it be supported in the near future (including DDEX support for VS 2015)?

http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-609. Support for EF 7 is going to happen after EF 6.2 will be out (because of Migrations).
