for those of us entirely unfamiliar with linq, what is this supposed to do? Select people with name "John" from a collection of people, like in sql? It seems trivial to do this using filter, or am I missing something...?
The idea of that example is, as Dicebot said, to convert the AST of the lambda to a string containing SQL code then query the database and return the result. The interesting part here, in the context of macros, is to convert the lambda to an SQL string.
The filter is not applied on the result, it's converted to SQL and performed in the database.
