Hi Gustav,

This mySQL Connector, which can be used to work with mySQL DBs from LINQ for
EF(?), is probably developed by using "Entity Client" concept/technology:
http://blogs.msdn.com/adonet/archive/2007/02/14/entity-client.aspx

It may happen somebody will use this technology to develop an MS Access
connector - let's hope that happens real soon? Hey, MS MS Access Team - how
about doing that there?

Another useful technology MS "cooks" there is "CodeOnly for Entity
Framework":
http://blogs.msdn.com/adonet/archive/2009/06/22/feature-ctp-walkthrough-code
-only-for-entity-framework.aspx 

You mentioned something like that here already - did you mean that "CodeOnly
for Entity Framework" technology or just a concept of starting with Domain
Model implemented in code/metadata and then using this Domain Model to
generate actual (relational) DB model?

Hi all

And as an apropos:

Live Webinar: For ISVs - Using Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework with MySQL
Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 10:00am PDT

The Entity Framework is a new technology that was developed by Microsoft and
delivered as part of .NET 3.5 SP1. This framework abstracts the relational
schema of the database and presents it as a conceptual schema. This is
particularly beneficial for ISVs because by working with a conceptual
schema, the commercial application developer avoids having to write
complicated joins to connect all the related items of data, greatly reducing
development time, resources and therefore, COGS. ISV developers can access
their data using ORM-like classes, LinQ syntax, or with a new SQL syntax
named EntitySQL, all of which further reduce COGS.
