title: Using MySQL on development environment and SQL server on the live environment
body: <p>I am working with a commercial system by integrating with its database using Entity framework. The current environments setting is as follow:-</p>
  
  <p>1.On the live environment &amp; on the staging environment the commercial system is using SQL server 2008 r2. </p>
  
  <p>2.While on the development environment, I have installed the commercial system with the default MYSQL that comes with the product. Due to licenses &amp; resource restrictions. </p>
  
  <p>I want to use entity framework to work with the database , so if I finish my development using entityframworkà MySQL,, will it take a lot of work to connect the entity framework to the SQL server on the staging environment and then on the live environment .</p>
  
  <p>I am asking this as entity framework should provide an abstract level from the database , so I am assuming that only changing the connection string should work well?</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone advice on this?</p>
  
  <p>BR</p>
