title: How to setup .Net application to use firebird entity framework provider (for an embedded database)
body: <p>I've been trying to find any documentation on how to setup the entity framework 6.0 provider for firebird database (an embedded version) without any luck in a .Net application.</p>
  
  <p>Most of the documentation I could find was about the ADO.Net providers but I'm looking for the entity framework one so specifically:</p>
  
  <p>1) How to setup firebird EF6 provider using the app.config
  2) And optionnaly how to setup using new EF6 code setup (by overiding the DbConfiguration class : I'm unsure what to pass to SetExecutionStrategy() and SetDefaultConnectionFactory() methods for the firebird EF6 provider.</p>
  
  <p>Link to the providers are here:
  <a href="http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/additional-downloads/" rel="nofollow">http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/additional-downloads/</a></p>
  
  <p>And the documentation I found on the web site about .net (but only for ADO, nothing on entity framework dlls).

  <p>The only thing I know is that for embedded database the ServerType should be 1</p>
