"It's effectively to remove the impedance mismatch between a programming language and databases," Hejlsberg said. "The whole concept of query and set transformations is one that really has been missing from general purpose programming languages for no good reason. Why is it that I can query data when it sits in a database but the minute I fetch it into memory I can't query it at all? I can write primitive for loops and if statements, but I have nothing that even approaches the declarative query power that you see in SQL or XQuery?"" LOL! I could have swore that the idea for LINQ was spawned from Visual FoxPro's great abilities with local data!!! Not even so much as a mention....perhaps I'm mistaken? -- Michael J.
