LINQ& SQL Server 2008 (compared to LINQ & SQL Server 2005

  • Hi,

    in the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 whitepapers LINQ is didescribeds a new key feature of the 2008 version. That confuses me a little;)

    As far as i know LINQ is a query language which was implemented in the .NET Framework. This query will translated in sql and send to the server, right? So from my point of view LINQ is a .NET technology and a new key feature of the 2008 Server?

    Or in other words: Do i have any advantages when i use LINQ in my application and as my database Server Sql Server 2008 compared to use LINQ in my application and the "old" 2005 version? (maybe sql server 2008 understands linq directly whereas for the 2005 version it needs to be translated to sql?)

    Thanks for any help in advance!

    DBO

    P.S: As you may recognized, i'm very knew to sql server...sorry when i ask some silly questions;)

  • I have not read the whitepaper, but my assumption is that MS means that LINQ is now available within the SQLCLR in 2008 whereas it is not available in 2005.
