LINQ - watchout for slow queries
LINQ or Language Integrated Query is great for application developers to develop applications that interact with databases. But remember it is a tool and like every tool, you have to use it wisely to achieve the best results. I currently maintain a web based application that is meant to allow job scheduling, and provide users a way to interact with the jobs that are currently running too. Some of the features include, stop the job that is running, skip one among the several jobs, restart the job, resume from a particular section in the job etc....
