Using ODBC with Entity Developer
Using ODBC with Entity Developer
What drivers, product, etc do I need to download to connect to a database via ODBC?
I've tried the dotConnect Univerisal, but I don't see any new available selections for ODBC, I only see a the SQL Server database connection option.

I recommend you to take a look at our Entity Framework Query Samples.
They describe how to use several storage models with one conceptual model.
Take a look at this blog article as well.
Hope these links describe the scenario you are interested in.

I didn't describe my issue clear enough.
I'm currently using Entity Developer for SQL Server to create my Model, this works.
I also have another database that I want to do the samething with, but I can only access this database via ODBC.
What "driver"/dotConnect do I use to generate a model thru a ODBC connection?
Thanks

I thought dotConnect Universal allowed connecting via ODBC or other ADO.NET providers?
Below is a quote from the dotConnect Universal product...
"dotConnect Universal offers universal access to data of different databases for the Microsoft .NET Framework. It supports most of major database servers, including Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, InterBase, and Firebird. Other servers can be accessed through their ADO.NET, OLE DB and ODBC providers. "
Does dotConnect Universal work thru Entity Developer just like the other dotConnect products such as MySQL, SQLLite,PostgreSQL, etc?

I guess it's confusing that your dotConnect products provide a bridge to the Entity Developer, except the Universal product.
So is it safe to say that if you don't use NHibernate, you can use Entity Developer ONLY with the dotConnect providers (excluding Universal) that are available?
So even if I have an ADO.NET Providers drivers installed, I can't use it with Entity Developer?
