Experience

Lead Developer Language Integrated Query To SQL Translator Open Source

Project (December 2007 Present)

NET 3.5 introduced Linq, a component that adds native data querying capabilities to

.NET languages using syntax reminiscent of SQL, Microsofts implementation of a

Linq to SQL translator however is available only for SQL Server 2000/2005/CE.

LinqToSQL is an open source library that contains the following features:

Comprehensive querying support for SQLite, SQLServer 2000/2005/CE, MSAccess, MySQL, and PostGreSQL.

Transparently queries multiple databases in one expression e.g. an MS AccessDatabase and a SQL Server Database.

Translates function calls and property accessors in the String, DateTime andNullable`1 classes that have SQL equivalents e.g. firstName.Length,firstName.ToUpper(), orderDate.Year, shippedDate.HasValue etc.

Implements all IQueryable methods e.g. GroupBy, Any, All, First, Sum, Averageetc.

Correctly and comprehensively translates binary and unary expressions thathave valid translations into SQL.

Parameterizes queries instead of embedding constants in the SQLtransformation thus securing against SQL injection attacks.

Performs caching of previously translated expression trees.

Articles on the use and implementation of LinqToSQL can be found at these links

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
