Or must it be a SQL Server database? If I'm reading the documentation right, as long as I use Entity Framework and not Linq to SQL, I can go against a Sybase data source. But I'm not certain...
A:
If you use EF you can use any database with an ADO.NET Data Provider.
Here is a list of available providers (including Sybase) - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/dd363565.aspx
