EF4 cross database relationships

cross-database, entity-framework-4

Solution

I've found this entry in Microsoft Connect that answers the question about the support given at this moment by EF (actually it is not supported yet).

Also found a thread in Social MSDN about this concern.

Other links on Stack Overflow:

- ADO.Net Entity Framework across multiple databases

- Entity framework 4 and multiple database

In summary, the only given alternatives are:

Using views in EF

Use NHibernate instead

Problem

I was wondering if EF4 support cross-databse relationships? For instance: db1 ``` Author Id Name ``` db2 ``` Posts Id Content db1.Author.Id ``` What ideally I need to do to get this relation in my ef4 model? Do you guys have any idea? Thanks
