How NOT To Optimize LINQ Statements(coderjournal.com)

submitted by zigamorphzigamorph(3319) 3 years, 8 months ago

About a month ago I was experimenting with different ways to optimize my LINQ queries against the IdeaPipe database, in order to improve the read times. I wanted to improve the read times because our new Facebook Application was being launched and I anticipated an increase in our traffic to the server, which is used to host IdeaPipe and the Facebook Application component. I quickly realized how now to optimize LINQ statements though. read more...

LINQ to SQL queries involving strings cause SQL Server procedure cache(blogs.lessthandot.com)

submitted by SQL_MenaceSQL_Menace(4890) 3 years, 8 months ago

Be careful when using LINQ. If an application is using LINQ to SQL and the queries involve the use of strings that can be highly variable in length, the SQL Server procedure cache will become bloated with one version of the query for every possible string length read more...

LINQ to SQL - Am I Hitting The Database?(singingeels.com)

submitted by wisemxwisemx(8074) 3 years, 9 months ago

Like most other developers who have been using LINQ for a while (and in this particular case, LINQ to SQL) - I've unknowingly made a few 'bad queries' that performed great at first, but eventually made some pages crawl. This post isn't necessarily about performance, but if you don't know how to answer that question ("am I hitting the database"), then you'll likely find yourself in a world of problems down the road when you're using LINQ to SQL. read more...

LINQ Farm: More on Set Operators(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by CharlieCalvertCharlieCalvert(7875) 3 years, 10 months ago

This is a second post on the LINQ Set operators, the first being published while LINQ was still in beta. As mentioned in the previous post, there are four LINQ set operators: Union, Intersect, Distinct and Except. Like the other 50 LINQ operators, these methods are designed to allow you to query data which supports the IEnumerable<T> interface. Since all LINQ query expressions, and most LINQ queries, return IEnumerable<T>, these operators are designed to allow you to perform set operations on the results of a LINQ query. In this post I give four highly simplified examples of how to use each of the operators, and then end with a more complex example that shows how the operators might be used in a real world setting. read more...
