ADO.Net Entity Framework support

I'm looking at using ADO.Net Entity Framework and OraDirect.Net to talk with a legacy Oracle database.

I managed to get a Model generated using the EDM wizard, and I have a few questions:

- I noticed Associations do not appear to be created via the data stores foreign keys. Did I miss something? If they are not currenly supported, is there a plan to support this? Any time frame?

- Same question concerning stored procedures?

Thanks!

In the next build of OraDirect .NET we are planning to withhold the internal EDM wizard (OracleEdmWizard.exe)
and move towards the standard Visual Studio 2008 Entity Data Model wizard.
By this step we expect to support EDM relations between tables, plus add implementation for database views and stored procedures.
The next build is scheduled to be released in two weeks, although it's not the final date.
