I’m storing an XML as a string in a column of a table I have in SQL Server 2008. I’m thinking of using Linq-to-XML to read the string as an XElement.
My question is, would using Linq-to-XML make the process of reading the xml from the table column slower?
This test found XMLReader to have the best performance: http://www.nearinfinity.com/blogs/joe_ferner/performance_linq_to_sql_vs.html
