Entity Framework It can works with various databases like Oracle, DB2, MYSQL, SQL Server etc. It generates an .edmx files initially. The relation is maintained using 3 different files .csdl, .msl and .ssdl It has support for complex type. https://sites.google.com/site/19216811wiki/ Vishalneeraj-24503, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
