My girlfriend asked why I always cursed at LINQ
-
So I gave her a grocery list in LINQ ```cs var query_where1 = ( from item in Grocery.Store where item.Price < 1.99 where item.Fresh == true where item.Type.Contains("Produce") select item).Take(5); ``` Which she really didn't care for; and I followed up with it in SQL ```sql SELECT TOP 5 * FROM Grocery.Store WHERE Price < 1.99 AND Fresh = 1 AND Type = 'Produce' ``` I think she understands now

I know what you mean, I prefer to use the Linq methods as well - the Linq syntax is just a PITA to read.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

My girlfriend asked me why I cursed at LINQ and I told her to get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.

var query = Grocery.Store
.Where(item => item.Price < 1.99 && item.Fresh == true && item.Type.Contains("Produce"))
.Take(5) -

I do wish SQL would allow multiple WHEREs in place of ANDs -- just to assist with developing queries I'm working on in SSMS and I want to experiment with various WHERE clauses.

I hardly ever need to. Sometimes a I need an IN, but rarely an OR. And I'm not saying remove AND and OR, just make any additional WHEREs act as ANDs.

I can see it both ways, when I'm in SSMS and playing with WHERE options I end up with ```sql SELECT * FROM Table WHERE -- FirstName = 'Herman' -- AND LastName = 'Munster' ```
Right, so sometimes I wind up making
SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE 1=1
-- AND FirstName = 'Herman'
AND LastName = 'Munster'just so I have flexibility while I experiment.

Don't take them for granted. Making them read code and all.

When I'm testing out filters I'm usually starting with
WHERE 1=1and add all conditions with an AND. But I can see what you're getting at. <edit>Just as you answered to Madmyche</edit>Wrong is evil and must be defeated. - Jeff Ello

Looks to me just a simple matter of different syntax. One does not appear to be any more succinct or easier to read than the other.
"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson
"Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it." - Michael Simmons
"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." - James D. Miles

Don't use that convoluted Linq syntax and instead just use the static methods. Code looks way cleaner that way.
