EF 4.1 for Sybase

Question

Hi,

I plan to use latest asp.net MVC 3 plus EF 4.1 on my latest project. The issue is that the back-end database is sybase. Does EF 4.1 support sybase?

Thanks for your help.

I have read that right now there is no 3rd party support.  Oracle plans on getting is out soon, but that's all I know.  It's the responsibility of the Vendor to provide the support.  I'm thinking you need to ask Sybase right?

You have this.

You may also want to look at nHibernate to see what it has to offer as

an ORM solution working against Sybase.

 

Answer 3

Hi,

It's a bit unclear which version of Sybbase you have? But Sybase supports EF in their newer versions. In Anywhere it's from 11 and up. I'm currently using this in the current job I have.

As for EF 4.1, i'm guessing you want to use CodeFirst/DbContext? Since DbContext is an abstraction over ObjectContext, I guess that it should work, but I haven't tried.
