Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Entity Framework 6

[Paul D. <pau...@ut...>]

I have have had problems using Windows Entity Data Framework. In some 
cases, I can't open an edmx file in Visual Studio (that I had compiled 
from scanning a database perhaps a year earlier, always receiving 
"Provider Not Found." Very frustrating.

I am now considering switching to MySql, even though I would prefer to 
stay with Firebird.
