    Simple.Data and VB.Net The final queries

    by Christiaan Baes (chrissie1) on May 08, 2012 in categories Microsoft Technologies, VB.NET. Article views: 683 views

    In this last post I want to show some more complex queries. But I also want to remind you that you need to know when to quit. When queries get to complex you will have to jump through hoops to get them working with any ORM while it is all very "easy" to do in SQL. In other words use the right tool for the job.

    Simple.Data and complex types: many to one

    by Christiaan Baes (chrissie1) on May 04, 2012 in categories Microsoft Technologies, VB.NET. Article views: 1038 views

    In my previous blogpost about Simple.Data I added a table and made a reference to that in my previous table. In other words A person now has an address. I then went on to make a query to join the two together hereby using the explicit join syntax of Simple.Data. If however your database uses foreign keys (which I know it will) then you have no need for a join. Simple.Data just figures it out for itself.
