Interest in the 4.0 client?

[ronnieoverby]

I see that the 4.0+ server is not backwards compatible with 3.x clients. Is anyone interested in a version of the linqpad driver that can speak with 4.x servers?

I see that the 3.5.4 client on nuget has critical mass in a way that newer clients do not.

If anyone is interested, please speak up.

Thanks!

We won't be upgrading for at least a 4 or 5 months but I am definitely interested in a 4.x client.

That would be great, thank you

[ronnieoverby]

Okay mah dudes. I'll probably do this soonish.

It will be much appreciated!!! Cheers, mate!

Just found out that the driver in linqpad isnt compatible with 4.0, and thus found this thread. Will be much appreciated.

Perhaps add a note on the repo, in slightly larger text , about the version issues? ;)

Done.

absolutely

Like @kimswe, I couldn't get this particular driver to work with LinqPad. Would love to have it work in the 4.0 client.

Yes, I am still interested Thanks.

Ok, will get a PR ready.

Any progress on an updated driver?, just starting to work with 5.1, linqpad support would be super helpful

[ronnieoverby]

@innermark what version of linqpad do you have and did you pay for it? There are techniques in linqpad6 that will help you get the same feeling of a driver without a real driver. If you have paid for linqpad you get auto completion, making things much nicer.

Linqpad now has #load directives for pulling in other scripts. You could define your connection/store/session for specific environments and load that script in to any other script. I do this a lot for data sources that don't have a linqpad driver (salesforce, redshift, etc.) and it works great.

This driver never had the feature of generating types per document type, anyway...

I'll try to share some examples later today.

@ronnieoverby I'm using version 6, I don't have a current paid license but will get one if I can get this working, Its been a few years since I've worked with LINQPad so I was not aware of the #load functionality, if you had a working example that would be great. thanks

Sorry, I had started working on this here(https://github.com/yj7o5/RavenDB-Linqpad-Driver/commits/raven-40) but got busy with work and school and couldn't get the chance back to revisit this. Since 4.x/5.x breaking change it just requires a lot of moving parts and pieces. Plus LP6 also simplifies some bits and that will cleanup a few bits as well. Hopefully will try to get back on this and get it working with 5.x. My plans to implement the DynamicDataContextDriver by utilizing the stats the RavenDb provides meaning reading the data collections and dynamical creating CLR classes so as to provide the typed class interface as well. Similar to how others such Linq2Sql driver provides.

Aside from that, you can also just directly download the nuget Raven client and reference any of your local dlls and then just simply do the following:

using(var store = new DocumentStore());
using(var session = store.OpenSession();

session.Load<MyReferencedDllInThisLinqPadScript.Animal>("dogs/1");

and for re-usability sake I just put that into my MyExtensions.cs class and then simply reference:

using(var xyzProdStore = MyExtensions.OpenMyXyzProdDatabaseStore())
using(var session = xyzProdStore.OpenSession())
{
     // don't break stuff
}
or 
using(var abcTestStore = MyExtensions.OpenMyAbcTestDatabaseStore())
using(var session = abcTestStore.OpenSession())
{
     // break as many stuff
}

@innermark @yj7o5

Here's an example of the workaround I described. I think this should be a pretty good solution for most people.

Thanks @ronnieoverby this looks super helpful, I'll give it a try.
