Using LINQ to SQL with Oracle [closed]

Answer 1

You can try 3-rd party ORMs - for example, LinqConnect, NHibernate, etc. But as for me - LINQ to SQL is flexible and allows you to start quickly.

Answer 2

You can use this LINQ to Oracle

But Linq to SQL not so good for ORM as Nhibernate, or Entity Framework. Nhibernate works with Oracle, MS SQL server, My SQL et. EF - works with MS SQL Server.

Answer 3

LINQ to SQL doesn't support Oracle, but the Entity Framework has a more open provider model, and there are Oracle drivers which support EF.

So basically, for non-SQL Server databases I would ignore LINQ to SQL completely and look to EF. LINQ to SQL simply wasn't built with a provider model for extensibility to arbitrary databases.

Answer 4

Here is a good article which describes how to build a LINQ provider:
