OpenEdge + Odbc + Linq

I found out there is no OLEDB or native ADO.NET driver for OpenEdge.

Has anyone had success in using the OpenEdge driver with Linq or Entity Framework?

Solution

  • EF Core

    There is still no official solution from ProgressSw but I can recommend the provider from Alex Wiese (see Answer below): EntityFrameworkCore.OpenEdge

    EF 6 (.Net Framework)

    Because ODBC is the only supported Interface for .net Clients you can't use OpenEdge DB with Entity Framework directly (Why doesn't Entity Framework support ODBC?).

    But there is a commercial ADO.NET Driver for OpenEdge from OpenLink and an unofficial NHibernate Dialect.
