Devart ADO.NET Data Providers Deliver Advanced Model-First and Database-First Support and Improved ORM Solution!

New versions of Devart ADO.NET Data Providers with improved capabilities of
ORM solution and advanced Model-First and Database-First support in ORM
model designer.

Devart has recently announced the release of the new versions of dotConnect
Data Providers, the database connectivity solutions built over ADO.NET
architecture and development frameworks with a number of innovative
technologies. Devart ADO.NET Data Providers product line includes high
performance data providers for major databases and offer a complete solution
for developing database-related applications and web sites. Devart
dotConnect provides support for ADO.NET Entity Framework and LinqConnect.
LinqConnect is the Devart ORM solution, closely compatible with the
Microsoft LINQ to SQL, while extending its functionality with its own
features.

With new versions of dotConnect ADO.NET Data providers - dotConnect for
Oracle 6.00, dotConnect for MySQL 6.00, dotConnect for PostgreSQL 5.00, and
dotConnect for SQLite 3.00 – Devart continues to introduce innovative
approaches for ORM model designing and considerably improves the runtime of
LinqConnect.
1. New versions of dotConnects contains new greatly improved ORM solution -
LinqConnect
The functionality of LinqConnect ORM was extended by the following:
Now LinqConnect supports Batch Update for DML statements execution on
SubmitChanges call, which improves performance of update operations.
New kind of inheritance hierarchy was supported. In addition to Table Per
Hierarchy support Table per Type is supported now.
LinqConnect package now includes the new templates for ASP.NET Dynamic Data
projects, that allows creation ASP.NET Dynamic Data applications using
LinqConnect.
Upgraded LinqConnect ORM supports Parallel LINQ, which offers performance
improvements for your applications, using LinqConnect.
Visual Studio Debugger Visualizer was added to LinqConnect to improve
readability of SQL code, generated for your LINQ queries, while debugging
your application.
2. Enhanced own ORM model designer - Entity Developer
Entity Developer, that is containing in dotConnect Data Providers, allows
developing LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework models based on different
database engines. Now it provides advanced Model First support and Update
model from database functionality:
Model-First approach implementation in Entity Developer offers automatic
synchronization of mapping and storage part with the conceptual part of the
model and easy to use wizards for synchronizing database with the model.
Synchronizing Database with the Model
Entity Developer offers you two options for creating database based on your
model. You may either generate a create script, that creates a new database,
or use Update to Database Wizard that synchronizes an existing database with
the model. This wizard makes only necessary changes to the database and
retain the data if possible. Even changes inside entity are detected and
resulted in ALTER statements, the table doesn't need to be dropped and
created again. The wizard displays the tree of the changed objects and their
changes, allowing you to choose which database objects need to be
synchronized with the model, specify the renamed objects, etc.
Mapping Synchronization
When automatic mapping synchronization is enabled, changes to the conceptual
model are automatically applied to its mapping and storage part. For
example, when you add a class to the conceptual part, a corresponding table
is created in the storage part, and the class is automatically mapped to
this table. Even the most complex conceptual part changes are supported -
complex types, many-to-many associations, complex hierarchies. All these
changes can be automatically reflected in the storage part. However you may
make manual changes to the storage part, and they will be preserved when
editing conceptual part.
Update From Database Wizard allows synchronizing your model with the
database for Entity Framework and LinqConnect in a fast and convenient way.
Unlike standard Visual Studio Update Wizard, Entity Developer Update From
Database Wizard tries to preserve manual changes to the model where
possible. The wizard detects all the database changes that can affect the
model, e.g. created and deleted tables and views, their columns and foreign
keys, column datatype changes, created and deleted stored procedures and
functions, changes to their parameters etc.
