"dotConnect for DB2 supports DB2 for LUW 9.x and higher."
Entity Framework is built on top of the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework
provides basic database access, via ODBC, OLE DB and .NET providers (IBM
provides all three variations of the providers in IBM i Access for Windows).
The Entity Framework uses an underlying database provider for the specific
platform that is to be accessed. The database provider must be specifically
enabled, through the provision of a long list of features, to support Entity
Framework.
For example, Entity Framework can be used with Microsoft SQL Server, using
the SQL Server database provider from Microsoft. IBM (or others) have
apparently created an Entity Framework enabled version of the DB2 LUW
provider.
Unfortunately, it does not appear that IBM has provided an Entity Framework
enabled provider for IBM i.
HiT Software provides their "Ritmo" .NET Framework based provider for the
IBM i, that is Entity Framework enabled:

Subject: Re: DB2 connect server
The ".NET framework" Is not the same as the "entity framework".
Okay. Nobody said it was. And, what is the relevance?
It appears to me that some people are using the ADO.Net data provider and
the "entity framework" to access DB2 data.
