That is funny, an objection to LINQ based on sql injection! :)

LINQ is to a database as asking a child to build a cyclotron. What you
get is some well intentioned but mangled piece of work that bears
little relation to reality. What a gigantic waste of resources. Had
they only brought in people who new even the basic ideas of a 'real
relational database' MS might well be on the way to breaking new
ground in an area dormat forever. Now they simply have something they
can say 'hides' sql from the net developer. It seems what was
important was to design something, anything, so long as it would
'hide' sql. If anyone can explain what ideas/principles were being
followed I'd love to hear from them. MS has a net group and a database
group. Obviously they need another.
