Would it be possible to request the SQLite be added to the db list?

 

Thanks,

We probably won't add an SQLite provider, but we do have plans for ES2008 that allows users to plugin user-defined providers.

I think there is no progress on plugin user-defined providers, right?

Our plan is to add DB2 and SQLite support in ES2009. Also, ES2009 will ship with it's own built in code generation system so that is when we will open up the provider model, as you will have to provide two providers, one to supply the metadata during code generation and the EntitySpaces provider as well. However, there aren't going to be too many unsupported databases once ES2009 is released. ES2009 will be built using the Visual Studio Shell so it will run inside of Visual Studio itself (the Shell can run in isolated mode so it can run without VS studio as well). I hope this gives you some insight.

So for now there is no solution without the source code license to develop a database / metadata provider? You wrote ES2009 so this will be released at least next year?

Yes, it will be released next year, and 1st quarter not 2nd quarter as ES2008 was.
