Have you considered allowing the data store being an object-oriented database like for example DB4O? Or is DevForce dependent on a relation database in many of its layers?

I would say DevForce could add the same value to object oriented databases, as it does to relational databases. It seems like the major OO databases do not have a proper security model, they will not run over a WAN, they do not encrypt their connection and they do not have managed libraries allowing a Silverlight client to connect to the database server.

Hi Runar,
 
Good summary.  Also, because LINQ is a query language that is decoupled from a relational data store, it makes it easier to make changes to the persisted structrure without affecting the application.  We are looking into supporting this in the future.

Providing support for OO databases would be great. It would mean DevForce could provide an end-to-end solution for projects that do not want to use a relational database. It would also be a good proof of the layered architecture in DevForce.

Now the unavoidable question… Do you have any time plan for when you will look into this? Any feedback is highly welcome!
