I have had a great deal of experience with it so feel most comfortable there but the knowledge gained can be extrapolated and used in almost any database scenario.

LINQ: How to do joins between a relational database and xml data(blogs.msdn.com)

It turns out you CAN do joins between different data sources with no problems that I can see. Here is my example of how to join SQL and XML data using LINQ. read more...
