February release is out

Friday, February 8th, 2008

“includes fixes and SqlLite support by Douglas Six and Peter Magnusson” - grab it form the downloads page. Discuss on the newsgroup.

What’s coming next (in March)? A big refactoring by Pascal, which should move provider code into separate DLL. Also planned is partial support for vertical partitioning.

I am looking for volunteers are required to create a graphical SqlMetal tool, which would allow you to rename fields and change types, and control partitionaing and other mapping.

Good luck everyone!

DB Linq: new package for Orcas Beta 2

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Orcas Beta2 (Visual Studio 2008) has been released. I like the VirtualPC image, allowing me to use it at work - but avoid the direct installation, which has installed .NetFramework2-SP1 on my machine, causing many .NET 2 apps to stop working.
For LINQ, there are some changes in Beta2: anonymous types are now immutable (except VB.net - read about the new keyword, ‘Key’), and as such the dynamically-compiled code under the hood needs to change. You can download the updated source code package from http://code.google.com/p/dblinq2007/
