When using sqlmetal.exe against a database I step into the following problems:
- Some (not all) of the identifiers are written to the .cs file in what I guess is ASCII, even though they are Unicode identifiers (e.g. a column named "Descripcion"), which makes non-alphanumeric characters (ascii chars > 128) appear in the middle of the names, rendering the file unusable.
- Some (foreign-key member) columns are named the same as the parent table they refer to (e.g. FK column "Order" in table "OrderItem" is a foreign-key that points to table "Order"). The code generator generates two class members for the column and the parent table with the same name (which derives in compile errors).
I know this is pre-alpha, just thought I would give some feedback as soon as possible.

Another one: looks like the assemblies haven't been signed:
error CS1577: Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'System.Data.DLinq' does not have a strong name
And a question: can these assemblies be used with the whidbey beta2 compiler (barring the use of the new syntax, of course).
