title: Creating WCF DataService with database other than SQL Server
body: <p>We would like to expose data we have residing in a Vertica database via the WCF Data Services.  (Ultimately, we want to access the data in Excel's pivot tables features, and I've created an Excel Workbook project in Visual Studio to consume this data).</p>
  
  <p>While I can access the Verica data in server code using the ADO.NET provider from Vertica -- I cannot find anywhere to get the WFC DataService code to use a different provider.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know how I can create a WCF data service using a database that is not SQL Server?</p>
