Hey Nic, do you know if is there some difference between to use:
'connection.Query<Transaction>("select *
from Transactions where TransactionDate between.... etc")'
Instead Mono.Data.Sqlite?

Because, in sqlite-net (at least the version _I_ was using, which
might be old), if I did (unchecked code!!):
var items = from item in connection.Table<Transaction> where
item.TransactionDate between X and Y select item;
this would get all the items, then do the WHERE. So if I wanted 10
lines from this year, but I had 1000 from last year, it would load
1010 items, and return 10.
Not good. I changed it to use connection.Query<Transaction>("select *
from Transactions where TransactionDate between.... etc") and I got
the 10 back I wanted, in <10ms not 1-2 seconds.
Same goes for summary's (select sum(Price) from....).
For small data sets, or where you usually want ALL of them, the linq
option is fine. But for getting a subset of a large set, or to get an
aggregate of a large set, not so much.
Frank might have changed it since I did that tho, to make the WHERE
affect the sql, not do it after the objects are hydrated.
