How can I use LINQ with large datasets efficiently?

How can I use LINQ with large datasets efficiently?

You can optimize LINQ queries by using methods like AsEnumerable, ToList, or ToArray to reduce database calls.

What are some common pitfalls when using LINQ with large datasets?

Common pitfalls include loading too much data into memory, not using deferred execution, and not indexing your database.

Can you give an example of a LINQ query that works well with large datasets?

Sure! A good example is using Where to filter data before calling ToList, which minimizes the amount of data loaded.

How does deferred execution work in LINQ?

Deferred execution means that the query is not executed until you iterate over the results, which can save resources.
