LINQPad and Oracle
linqpad, oracle
Solution
Judging by their user voice item request for Oracle support, it appears unsupported at the moment.
A comment on the O'Reilly forums also suggests its not supported.
update As we understand it, there's now built-in Oracle support in the latest versions of LinqPad; the home page of LinqPad now lists support for Oracle.
update January 2013 The new LinqPad-to-Oracle support appears to still be available. Per the LinqPad FAQ:
Q. Why does LINQPad use LINQ to SQL under the covers, rather than Entity Framework?
A. LINQ to SQL is faster with large schemas and in most cases, emits better SQL. You can, however, use EF with EDMs that you define yourself. For querying SQLite, MySQL and Oracle (via the optional plug-in), LINQPad uses Matt Warren's IQueryable toolkit.
Problem
Does LINQPad work with Oracle? Has anyone tried? What do you suggest?
