Requirements
  LLBLGen Pro's designer needs the .NET framework v3.5 or higher to run. The .NET framework is a free download from Microsoft: click here to go there.

The generated code requires either .NET 2.0/.NET 3.0/NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 to run. You can generate code for .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5/4.0

LLBLGen Pro ships with support for the following databases:
  • SQL Server 2000/2005/2008/2008R2/Express/CE Desktop/SQL Azure
  • Oracle 9i/10g/11g (using ODP.NET)
  • Oracle 9i/10g/11g (using Microsoft's Oracle provider)
  • PostgreSql 7.4+/8.x/9.x (using the Npgsql provider)
  • Firebird 1.x/2.x (using Firebird Client provider for .NET)
  • MS Access 2000/XP/2003/2007/2010 (using OleDb)
  • IBM DB2 UDB 7.x/8.x/9.x (using IBM DB2 .NET provider) (not on iSeries)
  • MySql 4.x/5.x (using Core Lab's MySql .NET provider v3.x/v4.x or DevArt's MySql .NET provider v5.x)
  • Sybase iAnywhere (ASA)
  • Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)

NOTE: Be aware that not all databases are supported by the supported O/R mapper frameworks. For example Linq to Sql only supports SQL Server and Entity Framework doesn't support Oracle nor MS Access. Please consult the LLBLGen Pro documentation for the supported O/R mapper frameworks or the specific feature descriptions on our website (see the 'Features' menu on the left) for details about which databases are supported for which O/R mapper frameworks. SQL Azure is not supported for database-first projects in the designer, it is supported as a target database in the LLBLGen Pro Runtime Framework.

LLBLGen Pro uses the .NET 2.0 DbProviderFactory system, so all ADO.NET providers used have to be build for .NET 2.0 or higher.

To be able to determine the complete schema and all the relationships inside it, LLBLGen Pro requires that the schemas have all the foreign key constraints and unique constraints necessary. If your schema doesn't have foreign key constraints, you can add these relationships manually in the designer.

The following list explains the requirements per supported database type.

We just wanted to pass along both a thank you and congratulations on developing a truly great product. At the time of this writing, we have been using LLBLGen Pro daily for just over a year. It has saved us a substantial amount of time and effort in developing a very large application (77 components (exe's and dll's)).

When we started development, two issues were deemed to be of critical importance to the overall success of the project, database independence and the strict adherence to the n-tiered design philosophy. LLBLGen Pro has permitted us to accomplish this effortlessly. An added bonus that LLBLGen Pro delivered is a total simplification of the sometimes complex issues associated with database manipulation.

We have now started work on a second project and would not consider developing in .Net without LLBLGen Pro.
