  OpenAccess ORM Free Edition is the FREE version of Telerik OpenAccess ORM - an Enterprise-grade ORM that does the data access plumbing in desktop and web applications. The community-driven Free Edition version provides the same functionality as the commercial version, but supports only free databases such as MS SQL Server Express, MS SQL Server Compact, Oracle Express, MySQL, Firebird, etc.

  Does the Express version support VistaDB?  The "features list" shows that it does, but the announcement and the download page don't list it.
  
  Thanks,

  Hello Eric Brunsen,
  
  The feature list shows the product features and the databases for the full version.
  
  The only limitation of the Express version is the sole support of free databases. Since VistaDB is not a free database, it is not supported by OpenAccess Express.
  
  We have updated our corresponding webpage about supported databases.

  "The only limitation of the Express version is the sole support of free databases. Since VistaDB is not a free database, it is not supported by OpenAccess Express."
  
  Will Express support MSDE 2000 that is free?
  
  The comparison charts do not mention MSDE 2000
  
  I have a site where an earlier version of free ORM was working with MSDE and now since i have updated ORM its not!

  Hi Paul,
  This is true but due to technical reasons we are not able to support MSDE 2000 currently and because it is a relatively old and not so popular database we don't have it in our road map. I hope you will understand.

  Just need to clarify.
  
  Ok, so the free version ORM ( now known as ORM Express) no longer supports SQL MSDE 2000.
  
  But if I buy the Telerik Premium Collection for .NET, will  the full version of ORM support SQL MSDE 2000?
  
  Or is MSDE 2000 not supported at any level, only SQL 2000 ?
  
  Thanks

  Hello Paul,
  We only support MS SQL Server 2000 (not the derivations as MSDE 2000) mainly because of technical reasons.
