Avoiding the 2100 parameter limit in LINQ to SQL

Question

In a project I am currently working on, I need to access 2 databases in LINQ in the following manner:

1. I get a list of all trip numbers between a specified d

Answer 1

as LINQ-to-SQL can call stored procs, you could

• have a stored proc that takes an array as a input then puts the values in a temp table to join on
• likewise by taking a string that the stored proc splits

Or upload all the values to a temp table yourself and join on that table.

However maybe you should rethink the problem:

• Sql server can be configured to allow query against tables in other databases (including oracle), if you are allowed this may be an option for you.
• Could you use some replication system to keep a table of trip numbers updated in DB2?
