Why do I need Stored Procedures when I have LINQ to SQL

Question

My understanding of Linq to Sql is it will take my Linq statement and convert it into an equivalent SQL statement.

So

var products = from p in db.Product         


        

Answer 1

I'm coming rather late to this thread. But depending on who you talk to, Linq to SQL is either dead, very dead, or at best a zombie.

In addition, no single tool suits every situation - you need to choose the right tool for the specific job in hand:

• Stored procs enable you to enforce complex business rules across multiple client applications.
• Stored procs can give you a great security layer.
• Stored procs can give you a great abstraction layer.
• Stored procs can give you better caching in some circumstances.
