What about DLinq?
Posted: 23 Jun 06 10:24 AM Modified By GiacomoCiti on 6/23/2006 10:26:15 AM)

ORM tools map conceptual models to ddl.
With DLinq tools you can then map db schema to .Net types.
Those types need to be equipped with metadata (DLinq attributes) which are partially database vendor specific.
At the moment this is not a big issue since only Sql Server is supported.
Since DLinq tools support also the reverse step (from .Net types with metadata to ddl) in my opinion a great scenario would be:

the ORM tool maps the conceptual model to .Net types with appropriate metadata (possibly for multiple target db);

different DLinq tools map .Net types to ddl targeting various db.

What do you think about this scenario, and what about on the ORM side (mapping models to .Net types with DLinq attributes)? Thanks.
