My point is MS is attempting to make application development easier at
the expense of database technology. There is nothing in LINQ that
advances db technology one inch. It is pure utility. There is nothing
I've read concerning LINQ that indicates that anyone remotely
connected with it has any idea of relational ideas/technology. And why
should they, it was not a requirement for the job. Had they the brains
to understand that relational technology is the key to overcoming the
impedance mismatch and leads to a simplified programming model for
application development, they may have
taken a completely different approach. Their holy grail is making sql
server invisible and what message does that send to the database
community? The day that the LINQ group recognizes the idea of a true
table type will be the day a new crew comes aboard for database
development:) I hope it's soon because net is a marvalous platform, to
good to waste on medicore thinkers.
