How can I keep Entity Framework from generating inefficient queries in SQL Server?

Question

I have an entity defined in an EF 4.0 that is based on a view. The view lays over a table with about 18 million rows of data. I have selected the 4 deterministic properties

Answer 1

Row limits don't make any sense without specifying an order.

If you want to retrieve records in storage order, create a clustered index and explicitly specify it in your query.

One way to do this is with a query interceptor.
