Using Linq to SQL, how do I find min and max of a column in a table?

Question

I want to find the fastest way to get the min and max of a column in a table with a single Linq to SQL roundtrip. So I know this would work in two roundtrips:

Answer 1

As stated in the question, this method seems to actually generate optimal SQL code, so while it looks a bit squirrely in LINQ, it should be optimal performance-wise.

from row in MyTable  
group row by true into r  
select new {  
    min = r.Min(z => z.FavoriteNumber),  
    max = r.Max(z => z.FavoriteNumber)  
}
