LINQ to DbProviderFactory

[Paladin2000]

LINQ to SQL was apparently designed for SQL Server, but I'm trying to find a way to make it interact with others. Maybe it's not possible, but if there were a way to use LINQ with a ProviderFactory, that could really help... But if it is possible to accomplish (somehow), I'm not finding it in Google. Thanks...

Depending how Fu your Oracle skills are, you can find a Linq to Oracle example here[^] which you could reverse to see how it works.

In cases not covered most just use LinqToObjects with a DataTable or other container

Hi, If you want to provide linq features for other DB environment please for ADO.Net Entity framework which supports DB apart from LINQ to SQL. One more appoach is to design your own entities and use System.Linq namespace to give LINQ features.

Timothy, as the others already stated, it is depending mostly on the vendor of the Db. For example, see this Oracle discussion (by now the ODP with Entity support should be out): https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2325615[^] If you want to write your own, it could take some time though... I think is is a non-trivial task. For what Db´s are you looking for? See also the various 3rd-party alternatives in the discussion...
