This is brilliantly done. I planned to use it just to learn LINQ, but now I intend to use it all the time for ad-hoc queries. Much nicer than creating piles of console apps AND much nicer than running queries in SQL Management Studio, especially with the Intellisense extension. I still can't believe that I can execute business logic (via the Entity Framework) from a query window.
This is a great product. A bit slow with databases with many tables but this is to be expected. I use this instead of 'SQL Server Management Studio' if I am just wanting to look at the data in tables. Makes writing quires easy as you do not have to run your application all the time, also the generated SQL is at your finger tips.
Love it. Don't need to open Visual Studio to play and learn LINQ.
