i wonder if the new EF stuff will work with mysql.. it'd be great if microsoft would make an EF component that created/worked with ansi sql, that you could then use with any provider.

Mysql are staffed mostly by asshats that for all their promises usually release stuff severals years late, they released an alpha of EF1 support just a couple of months ago. so it would be great if i didnt have to rely on them for EF support.. (why dont i just switch to sql server? belive me i want to, but i cant for legacy and price issues)

The person responsible for the video could've done a lot better job at showing the code and what Scott was doing rather than showing Scott talking about the stuff he's doing in VS2010. Missed on a lot of great material because of poor video job.

The content itself - great!

Would SQL Express help you instead of MySql?

sorry no, the reason we use mysql is a ruby on rails webapp that was created with it. we coul probobly migrate but it would be a major investment esp. in time, something that we dont have right now Sad

so im stuck with mysql..

after nagging mysql to get out their EF support since .net3.5 beta, after their promised to support it publicly, they still dont fully support it. they blamed it on som licence snafu, but what they eventually release a couple of months ago was till an alpha, not really usable in production..

it seems strange that EF would not be able to output ansi sql, it would make it soooo much useful

but then again, EF doesnt even fully support sql CE witch i find absolutly incredible Tongue Out there is a bug in the sqlce support that basically prevents non literal aruments (i.e variables) to be used in queries, making it essencially useless. this issue is several years old and still has not been fixed, there is some hotfix but that includes installing a special hotfixed version of sql CE on the client machine, so its crap from a deployment standpont..
