Entity SQL & LINQ to Entities  LINQ to Entities - The LINQ dialect that enables typed queries against the model.  Entity SQL - The second way of querying the object model.  Entity SQL is string-based.  Can be used to retrieve data at low level, directly using the Entity Client.© 2010 E4D LTD.

Entity SQL Queries  The SqlQuery method on DbSet allows a raw SQL query to be written that will return entity instances.  The returned objects will be tracked by the context just as they would be if there were returned by a LINQ query.  The query is not executed until the results are enumerated© 2010 E4D LTD.

SQL Queries for none Entity Types  The results returned from SqlQuery on Database will never be tracked by the context even if the objects are instances of an entity type.© 2010 E4D LTD. All rights reserved. Tel: 054-5-767-300, Email: Eyal@E4D.co.il
