What are the advantages of linq to sql?


Asked by Zhuri Horne on Dec 07, 2021 SQL



LINQ may be used to access all types of data, whereas embedded SQL is limited to addressing only databases that can handle SQL queries. Below are the advantages and Disadvantages of LINQ Advantages: It is a cleaner and typesafety. It is checked by the compiler instead of at runtime It can be debugged easily.
In addition,
In LINQ to SQL, the data model of a relational database is mapped to an object model expressed in the programming language of the developer. When the application runs, LINQ to SQL translates into SQL the language-integrated queries in the object model and sends them to the database for execution.
Besides, LINQ is not good to write complex queries like SQL. LINQ doesn’t take the full advantage of SQL features like cached execution plan for stored procedure. Performance is degraded if you don't write the LINQ query correctly. If you have done some changes in your query, you have to recompile it and redeploy its dll to the server.
In fact,
LINQ to Datasets - It is an easy and faster way to query data cached in a Dataset object. This allows you to do further data manipulation operations (like searching, filtering, sorting) on Dataset using LINQ Syntax. It can be used to query and manipulate any database (like Oracle, MySQL, DB2 etc.) that can be query with ADO.NET.
Moreover,
Microsoft introduced LINQ to SQL with .NET Framework 3.5 to reduce the work that a developer must perform when accessing a database. LINQ to SQL makes it much easier to write both simple and complex database-driven websites.
