What is the difference between LINQ to SQL and LINQ to Entities?

  • LINQ to Entities supports different data sources including relational databases
  • LINQ to Entities uses ObjectContext or DbContext for data manipulation.
  • LINQ to SQL is designed for relational databases and maps directly to SQL tables.
  • LINQ to SQL uses DataContext for data manipulation.
LINQ to SQL is tightly coupled to SQL Server, whereas LINQ to Entities is more flexible and can work with various data sources beyond SQL Server, such as Oracle, MySQL, etc.
