DB Linq: new package for Orcas Beta 2
Orcas Beta2 (Visual Studio 2008) has been released. I like the VirtualPC image, allowing me to use it at work - but avoid the direct installation, which has installed .NetFramework2-SP1 on my machine, causing many .NET 2 apps to stop working.
For LINQ, there are some changes in Beta2: anonymous types are now immutable (except VB.net - read about the new keyword, ‘Key’), and as such the dynamically-compiled code under the hood needs to change. You can download the updated source code package from http://code.google.com/p/dblinq2007/

Since I tweaked the submission page to add an extra question, I am down from some 10 spammers to 1 spammer. He still visits me faithfuly every day. Not sure how many genuine submissions were lost.

I think you should consider using codes of Subsonic while you are coding for DBLinq. Subsonic offers linq-like ORM on .Net and builds data object cs files for mysql(or mssql) objects on background using build providers.

I tried
var q = db.Customers.Skip(3).Take(5);
in PostgreSQL but got lambda expression error .
How to force linq to translate this into SELECT * FROM customers OFFSET 3 LIMIT 5 ?

Andrus,
This (lack of support for ‘OFFSET’ keyword) has now been fixed in Subversion.
I am scheduling it for the December release.
