LINQ Farm: Connecting to a Database with LINQ to SQL

LINQ to SQL extensibility

onovotny — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 20:36:41 GMT

What kind of extensibility will there be in the LINQ to SQL implementation?

So far, nothing I've seen shows that you can use CTE's or Full-Text functions directly from LINQ code. It would be very useful if there was a mechanism where additional functions could be added to expression tree that could add additional SQL calls.

Is there any way to do this?

Hi Charlie,

In your post you refer to the "March 2007 Orcas CTP" - does this mean there isn't going to be a Orcas CTP in February now?

Kind regards,

tom

Tom,

The date for the next CTP is a bit of a moving target. At this time it has moved back into February, which means it should be out quite soon. The team is working to get it out as soon as possible, and right now it looks like we will get it out very soon.

I can connect to and query a database much faster using the SqlClient. It really seems to me that it is a choice of learning LINQ or learning SQL. And I don't think you would be able to get a job knowing LINQ and not knowing SQL.

Of course, with all the shops that swarm to every new "simplification" Microsoft does, I suppose knowing LINQ will be a job prerequisite for many shops.

How in the world do you contact in Database Explorer to a SQLExpress Instance.... When I view the advanced properties it is attempting to use .SQLExpress.. I need INSTANCE\DBSERVER..

Everyone uses Northwid so examples are of no help.
