A question came up in the EF forums today asking if the delay of SQL Server 2008’s release will mean EF will be delayed.

The two are not related.

There is a misconception that Entity Framework is tied to SQL Server 2008. It’s definitely not. These are .NET APIs and will work with many database providers (when those providers are written).

As far as I know, the official word on EF’s release remains “1st half of 2008”. Something tells me that won’t be any time in January. 😉
