Ability to change database backend #19

Open bugproof opened 6 years ago

bugproof commented 6 years ago

I see the project uses Entity Framework? Would it be hard to change it to MySQL or other db?

jromerus commented 6 years ago

Hi, I'm checking this project and it's really amazing. It would be great it could work with other databases or provide some documentation of how to implement a new provider.

It would also be very useful if the same instance could work with several databases so could avoid several Realmius instances (one per database).

We haven't tested it with MySQL, but as part of migration to EFCore we plan to make it work at least with PostgresSQL

jromerus commented 6 years ago

Sounds great. However I will try to made a fork to actual version and test against mysql. In fact I have started and have found few problems with sql server tied type such as DateTimeOffset. At first I will try to simply replace those types in order to see if it works or it has negative impact.

jromerus commented 6 years ago

I can't find the way to solve DateTimeOffset dependencies in order to implement a mysql connector layer. So thinking about new releases, what do you think about pull apart a server logic layer from a server backend layer? That way it would be easier to implement a db connector with desired technology (nor only EFCore, but also Xpo or nhibernate)
