Generator
use the T4 template to auto generate POCO models
This code is based on the PetaPoco project and SubSonic T4 templates but has been considerably re-organized and reduced
This template can read minimal schema information from the following databases:
* SQL Server
* SQL Server CE
* MySQL
* PostGreSQL
* Oracle
* SQLite
* OleDb for Access
For connection and provider settings the template will look for the web.config or app.config file of the containing Visual Studio project. It will not however read DbProvider settings from this file.
In order to work, the appropriate driver must be registered in the system machine.config file. If you're using Visual Studio 2010 the file you want is here:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
After making changes to machine.config you will also need to restart Visual Studio.
Here's a typical set of entries that might help if you're stuck:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<add name="Odbc Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.Odbc" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc" type="System.Data.Odbc.OdbcFactory, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>

<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=6.3.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"/>
<add name="Microsoft SQL Server Compact Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact" type="System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeProviderFactory, System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"/><add name="Microsoft SQL Server Compact Data Provider 4.0" invariant="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact" type="System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeProviderFactory, System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"/>
<add name="Npgsql Data Provider" invariant="Npgsql" support="FF" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Postgresql Server" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql, Version=2.0.11.91, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d8b90d52f46fda7" />
<add name="SQLite Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SQLite" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for SQLite" type="System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory, System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.99.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139"/>
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
Also, the providers and their dependencies need to be installed to GAC.
Eg; this is how I installed the drivers for PostgreSQL
gacutil /i Npgsql.dll
gacutil /i Mono.Security.dll
