Adapters and Providers

Simple.Data is designed to work with all kinds of data storage systems. It has a very simple Adapter model, and an ADO adapter with a Provider model to add support for different RDBMS systems. There are providers for SQL Server and SQL Server Compact 4.0 included in the core project, but cool people have made plug-ins for more data stores.

So far, there are four plug-ins for Simple.Data:

If you'd like to see a particular platform supported, raise an issue here, or post on http://groups.google.com/group/simpledata, or tweet about it, or maybe fork the project and write some failing tests! It's a start!

If you do start working on a plug-in, please let me know so I can update this page, and also if you need any help or changes made to the core for any reason.
