Publisher's Description:
LinqConnect is an enhanced LINQ to SQL compatible ORM solution with extended functionality, support for SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, its own visual model designer, seamlessly integrating to Visual Studio, and SQL monitoring tool. LinqConnect allows quick creation of mapping model and generation of data access layer code, greatly decreasing development time and eliminating the need to work over routine tasks. It was developed closely to the Microsoft LINQ to SQL technology, while extending its functionality, thus allowing LINQ to SQL developer to easily get started with LinqConnect. In addition to LINQ to SQL features, LinqConnect provides its own advanced functionality. LinqConnect has complete support for complex types, allowing you to create entity properties with internal structure. With ID Generation feature you may just set an attribute for the property to use unique value generation for it. LinqConnect caches compiled queries automatically, while allowing you to set cache parameters and control caching process. It provides the same interface to all database servers, allowing you to easily develop applications that are able to use different databases.
