Testing Firebird Embedded with C#
Patch for DotNet Provider 1.7 to connect against Firebird 2.1
Attached is a patch file ( a ZIP file with extension changed , you should rename it from piz to zip ) with
changes to allow v1.7 of the provider to connect against Firebird 2.1,
changes has been done by backporting 2.5 svn sources to the v1.7 sources.
[ED: soon there will be an v1.7 release that will integrate this patch]
Firebird (server) is back in business with Entity Framework
Via Jiri’s Blog
As you (maybe) know, there was a bug in left outer join so the model generation/update etc. in Entity Framework and similar tools was failing. The bug is now gone. Well, it’s not in some oficial release, but it’s in sources. If you want to test it, grab sources and build or grab this build (only SuperServer executable). Also take into accout, that it’s build from current sources and can be very unstable.
Mono 2.0 has been released – with Firebird .Net Provider support
Mono’s 2.0 grand release has finally arrived.
See detailed release notes covering both the 2.0 launch and the changes since Mono 1.9.
Or you can go directly and download Mono 2.0 for your platform.
Also you must use Firebird DotNet Provider 2.5 with Firebird 2.1 .

Store server generated values in Entity Framework in Firebird
Server generated values – not only autoincrements are very useful think. Entity Framework supports two types “Computed” and “Identity”. When you update or insert entity, these fields are automatically refreshed according to state in database (after calling SaveChanges). For more info look at StoreGeneratedPattern.
Progress on the Entity Framework Provider for Firebird
Today, after some days/weeks, I finally created some noticable (= not only internals) progress with Entity Framework provider for Firebird.
Now, the provider is able to use, map, call, … stored procedures (and functions [very experimental]). You can select stored procedures from database, map these to some operations in EF, create “function imports” etc. You can see this working on picture:
