Why do I need Stored Procedures when I have LINQ to SQL

Question

My understanding of Linq to Sql is it will take my Linq statement and convert it into an equivalent SQL statement.

So

var products = from p in db.Product         


        

Answer 1

Stored procedure support for LINQ to SQL was included partly for compatibility with existing systems. This allows developers to migrate from a sproc-based system to a fully LINQ-based system over time, sproc by sproc, rather than forcing developers to make a rush to convert an entire system all at once.
