Suppose the Microsoft Entity Framework is an ORM for abstract / database work. The following is a requirement that forces an application to work simultaneously with a WCF service and a traditional database.
To my knowledge, there is no ORM tool that can abstract the WCF service in the same way as the Entity Framework.
Is there anything on the market that can help with this? The goal is to abstract the WCF and the traditional database so that the domain programmer looks like they are working with the same database. They donβt need to care or worry about being split up under entities and stored in several places (WCF or database)
--- EDIT ---
Please note that the WCF service is a third party that we do not control. But at the same time, we need to talk with a completely different database, which is a traditional MS Sql database.
