SQL to LINQ

[shapper]

Hi,

I wonder, is there some tool that transforms SQL procedures to
LINQ? :-)

I want to use LINQ but I have so much work done in SQL that would be
great to transform my SQL code to LINQ.

Thanks,
Miguel

Re: SQL to LINQ

Not an answer to your question, but a question: LINQ will translate what you
throw at it into an expression tree, tree which will be re-evaluated to
produce an SQL statement. That seems slower than using the already known SQL
statement. Why would you want to do that in the first place?

Furthermore, about your question, LINQ does not have concepts for every
thing MS SQL Server exposes through its SQL, neither ( I think, can be
wrong ) can a lambda expression for an expression tree provide some flow
control, at least, not as T-SQL can. I am not even sure an expression tree
can hold more than one SQL 'statement' (such as multi-line stored procedure
which can update, delete, and append rows to multiple tables within its
execution). So the translation tool will be quite limited, no?
