How can I connect an oracle data base with a dbml file?

Hi,

I think the best way to use Oracle with LINQ is to map the data base tables into the dbml file by hand. Am I right?

When I have done it, then what? How can i connect the data base with the dbml file?

From stackoverflow

• There are 3rd party Linq providers for databases other than MSSQL:

  LinqToOracle and DBLinq. The latter works also on SqLite, MySql, and such. So no, you don't have to create dbml files by hand.

  There's also a nice and clear tutorial here that explains how to get ready with DBLinq. Although it uses a MySql database as an example, that doesn't really matter, as you can just replace any MySql specific information with Oracle.

• This is another Oracle provider that supports the Entity Framework (not LinqToSQL): http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracle/ .
