Has anyone used any of the utilities out there for LINQ to MySQL? Do you know which one is best?
So far I know of LINQ for NHibernate, and DBLinq
LinqConnect is a lightweight, LINQ to SQL-compatible ORM solution with support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
More importantly: when it comes to querying databases, LINQ is in most cases a significantly more productive querying language than SQL. Compared to SQL, LINQ is simpler, tidier, and higher-level. It's rather like comparing C# to C++.
LINQ to SQL supports all the key capabilities you would expect as a SQL developer. You can query for information, and insert, update, and delete information from tables.
There is also LINQ to LLBLGEN, which then can support many, many databases.
From LLBLGEN's Feature Page
