使用ASP.NET MVC，LINQ和Entity Framework从SQL Server 2008切换到MySQL

Question

I am considering migrating from SQL Server 2008 to MySQL to save on licencing costs.

I was wanting to know if this would work and what sort of problems it might cause.

As I used EF Code first for the database, my databse is automatically generated based on my class structure. Would this, the entity framework and LINQ still work with a MySQL database?

Answer 1

Yes EF and LINQ works with MySQL as well, please take a look at these posts.
