@Dick: I think you are right in regard to SQL/RDBMS, it's proving NOT to scale with todays amount of data, fueling the NoSQL movement (CouchDB, Cassandra, Redis, db4o...). The thing about LINQ though is that it's a general purpose query API, for building up query expressions and firing it off to

I'd argue that the EU authorities in question are anti-competitive. Killing off Sun as they're doing only serves to increase the dominance of IBM and Microsoft in the broader picture. Does anyone /seriously /see Sun+Oracle as a monopoly in /any /area? -- Jess Holle phil.swen...@gmail.com
