| − | Of course, when factoring in joins (equivalent to inner joins in SQL) and group joins (equivalent to outer joins in SQL) the full power of Linq becomes obvious. The reduction of code duplication is immense, and as Linq can be applied across technologies (Linq-to-SQL, Linq-To-Xml etc) it becomes clear that the origin of the data is less significant than the data itself. | + | Of course, when factoring in joins (equivalent to inner joins in SQL) and group joins (equivalent to outer joins in SQL) the full power of Linq becomes obvious.
