[Solved] Will ORM work with no db keys\constraints

[Brad]

We are building an App on top of an unorthodox MS-SQL Database, we cannot modify and has no Primary or Foreign keys? Would OpenAccess ORM work in this situation? Can I manually create the "association" in the model without having to modify the database? I know the entity framework will not. Thx.

Is this a dumb question?

Hi brad,

 Yes you are able to define the associations and identity members on class level in the OpenAccess Visual Designer. You are not obliged to define the PK/FK constraints in the database too.

Kind regards,
