Key SQL Server Hosting Features (2008)
SQL Server 2008 64-bit
Language Integrated Query (LINQ) in sql server hosting
Developers can use queries against data, with using a managed programming language, instead of SQL statements. Developers are enabled to use strongly typed, set-oriented queries to run against ADO.NET (LINQ to SQL), ADO.NET DataSets, the ADO.NET Entity Framework, and to the Entity Data Service Mapping provider. A new LINQ to SQL provider enables developers to use LINQ directly on SQL Server 2008 tables and columns.
