Advantage Database ORM Tool or Code Generator Tool

Question

Does anyone know if there are any ORM tools or Code Generation tools that work against an Advantage Database?

Answer 1

It would be helpful to know what development environment you use.

For .net:

Microsoft Entity.NET Framework

Telerik

Developer Express (Express Persistent Objects)

For Delphi:

I believe REM Objects has a framework that works with Advantage too.

Answer 2

Probably yes, but you'll need to write a NHibernate.Driver.IDriver implementation.

Don't worry, it's easy. You can start from any of the most simple ones at https://nhibernate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nhibernate/trunk/nhibernate/src/NHibernate/Driver/

Also, you should write a NHibernate.Dialect.Dialect implementation, or you'll only be able to use the basic functionality provided by GenericDialect.

Answer 3

Somebody posted C# source for an Advantage Database NHibernate dialect/driver to the nhibernate-development google group; you should be able to use this with any current ADS ADO.NET provider.

However, you should take note of NH-3078 "TimeAsTimeSpanType issue when using Sybase Advantage Database", which doesn't seem to be fixed yet as of now.
