LINQ to SQL for Oracle.ODP

Question

Does LINQ to SQL support Oracle.ODP? If not, is a similar offering from Oracle available or in the works?

Answer 1

LINQ to SQL only supports SQL Server. For LINQ to Oracle, you'll want Entities, LINQ for nHibernate, or DbLinq to name a few.

Of those, DbLinq is intended to be the closest thing to an exact port of LINQ to SQL for other databases.

Answer 2

DevArt offers a provider for Oracle with LINQ support here. They also provide a direct mode where there is no need to install an oracle client and support for ADO.NET Entity framework.
