Danny Simmons' Why use the Entity Framework? post includes an "Entity Framework vs. LINQ to SQL" topic that lists the following advantages of Entity Framework (EF) over LINQ to SQL: * Full provider model with support for multiple RDBMSs, including SQL Server Compact. * Not tied to a one:one relationship between entities and database tables. * Support for Table per Class and Table per Concrete Class hierarchy models. * Support for entity-splitting and complex types (also called value types)
