    There is a thing, my fave, in Rails called:

    ActiveRecord::Base::find_by_sql(sqlparam).

    Pretty much “LINQ” to me. Perhaps SubSonics has it :)

    Hi Andry, thanks for the comment.

    Yes, SubSonic does have it.
    ActiveRecord.FetchByParameter(parameters)
    ActiveRecord
    .FetchByQuery(SubSonic.Query query)

    The query is built with SubSonic.Query builder object.

    But it’s not “LINQ”. LINQ has keywords built into the language its-self, not just an object.

    Linq isn’t really as good as a decent active record implementation if you want a strongly typed business layer. I use Diamond Binding (http://dunnchurchill.com) - and the query api is really good - you dont get these silly anonymous types making your code messy.
