MDM will be supported by ADO.Net Data Services

In March of this year I published a blog entry called “ MDM -> Entity Framework -> ADO.Net Data

Hi Pablo,

Regarding this:

We introduced support for open types in the Data Services runtime such that you can mark a given entity type as "open" in metadata and that would cause the system to allow unknown properties to be set, as well as the use of unknown properties in queries (e.g. in filter predicates).

Will we also be able to retrieve unknown properties in the returned dataset? I assume that we will (wouldn't be a lot of point otherwise) but I did want to make sure.

Jamie: yes, you'll be able to do that. We'll publish design notes to the Astoria Team blog when they are ready. There are a couple of ways of achieving that. You can imagine the option of having a member in your class of type dictionary that's marked as your "property bag" where we put everything we don't find a strongly-typed property for.

That way you can check out the dictionary to see all the unknown properties.

For SDS, I currently have some CLR code that I use in my SQL2005 Database....will SDS support CLR functions that I develop myself?

Hi pablo!

where are you from?

any how, is the code and symbols files available in the microsoft symbols server for use to debug and step into the astoria code (aka ado.net data service v1) ?

Currently SDS is focused on the data services and not on hosting custom code inside the database layer, so the short answer is no. Whether this is going to change in the future I don't know.

If you need to run code "close" to the data, you could host your code in an Azure compute instance and interact with the SDS store from there.

Argentina :)

There is a general process for pushing framework code for availability during debugging and such. We're part of the framework so whenever that happens for the rest of .NET 3.5 SP1 the Data Services stuff should show up.

Hi, Pablo,

You mentioned "SQL Data Services ... got a new experimental Data Services interface this week to coincide with the PDC" but SQL Services Labs still has "Download links coming soon" at the bottom of http://sqlserviceslabs.net/SDSAstoria.html.

Any idea when the experimental interface will be available for testing?

Cheers,

Hi Pablo,

Is Oslo's M the right language to express this shema outside of a .NET assembly?

Hi Dan,

The Data Services APIs for describing schema does not use any particular schema language. It's just an API that you use to describe sets, types, etc. M could certainly be used to describe the schema and then load it up using the metadata API, but that's just one option. Does that make sense?

Can you provide a sample implemenation of "Custom Data Service Providers" for ADO.NET data services?

re: ADO.NET Data Services in Windows Azure: pushing scalability to the next level

pabloc — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:51:52 GMT

Hi Avinash,

We're working on putting a nice, clean sample together that we can share. Once we have something we'll post it to the Astoria Team blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/astoriateam).
