Firebird and Linq

[szwejk]

Hi!

Is there any way to use Linq for SQL with Firebird? I installed
database provider but vs2008 [when i'm trying to preper .dbml file]
writes that this provider dont support this opperation [drag and drop
tables :O) ]. Can I find somewhere proper database provider for
Firebird?

Linq-to-sql only supports sql server.

There are other providers available either now or soon, but I haven't
personally yet seen one for firebird.

We have a linq provider for LLBLGen Pro soon, which supports Firebird
(2.0 and up, not 1.5, as it requires derived tables, which aren't
supported in Firebird 1.5).

Carlos Alvares, the guy behind the .net provider for firebird, also
seems busy with a provider for the entity framework, though I have no
idea when that will be released.
