Is it possible to use Ideablade with a non-SQL backend? The backend is a proprietry datastore that has custom SDK and or web services. I would like to program a client interface leveraging Ideablade but converting the Ideablade entities to the appropriate proprietry SDK on the server..... possible?
 
Thanks

Hi ook,

DevForce is build on top of EF and EF must support the datastore you are trying to use.

i.e. As long as this proprietary datastore has a service provider for EF, you should have no problem.

ok, thanks. In this case there is no EF provider so I am out of luck.

Actually,

You could use POCOs as well. In that case, you wouldn't have to rely on a database or any datastore that needed a service provider.
You'll find more information at http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/poco - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/poco
