Hello, I am in the process of orienting on suitable software for my needs, and Lightspeeds seems like it provides a lot of answers on problems we envision. I have noticed it provides a database independent query model through LINQ. Now, my question is, when we e.g. develop the application using SQL Server, would we be able to install it at a customer using Oracle (without recompiling anything)? The schema would be the same, as we can control that, but the database platform is often dictated by the customer. Thanks, Ewald |

Hi Ewald, Yes - if you are using exactly the same model but just changing the database provider then you would not need to recompile anything. Your deployment would simply consist of configuring the appropriate connection string to target the Oracle database.

Jeremy, thank you for your answer. That makes Lightspeed a very attractive alternative to NHibernate indeed. Ewald

Not a problem - If you havent already, I would suggest you download the Express version of LightSpeed and you can do some quick prototyping around your key use cases to validate any concerns you might have. If you run into any other questions just drop us a note in the forums :)
