DatabaseExists is not supported by the provider

Post by m4tthall » Tue 20 Jul 2010 14:58

Hi,

I am trying to do some code-first development with the Entity Framework using the dotconnect for Oracle provider. However, I am getting the error "DatabaseExists is not supported by the provider". I am assuming this, as the error suggests, isn't implemented by the provider. Is there plans to do so?

Thanks

Unfortunately, we do not provide support for the DatabaseExists method in dotConnect for Oracle at the moment.
We are investigatng the possibility to implement this functionality, but no timeframe can be provided.

We have implemented the stub methods returning true for all providers for the Entity Framework CTP 4 support.

Does this mean you now support code first? If so, is this implementation already available?

Thank you
Phil

Yes, this functionality is available since the 5.70.170 build of dotConnect for Oracle.
However, the SetInitializer workaround mentioned here is still necessary.
