February release is out

discuss — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:55:58 +0000

“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

discuss — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:54:15 +0000

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/

Side note on Spam in Wordpress:
Since I tweaked the submission page to add an extra question, I am down from some 10 spammers to 1 spammer. He still visits me faithfuly every day. Not sure how many genuine submissions were lost.

DbLinq - first package release

discuss — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 21:36:34 +0000

The Linq provider achieved a milestone by getting it’s first package created - by Bryan Livingston (plug). Thanks!

New in this release:
- Migrated to Visual Studio Orcas Beta 1
- new back ends: Linq provider for PostgreSQL and MSSQL
- support for GROUP BY and HAVING clauses
- Linq to Oracle project suspended, as my Oracle machine not alive
- renamed from Linq_MySql to DB_Linq to reflect multiple back ends

Unrelated: How do you deal with a wordpress blog swamped by 3000 spam comments? Unable to use the moderation page, I resorted to a MySql delete statement … Any better ideas? (Update: added an extra field on the submit page to break from the monoculture - monoculture is always easy to infect)

I am releasing the first version of Linq to MySql
