Question

Let’s say i have a table named User.
When I use the Entity Framework to get the records i do like this:

var db = new Context();
var users = db.Users;

It return all the users in my table. OK. If i do this:

var fooUsers = db.Users.Where(u => u.Name == 'foo');

It will give me all the users with name ‘foo’. OK. My question is:
The entity framework make a query like:

select * from user where name = 'foo'

Or it load all the users and filter them on the server with lambda expression?

Answer 1

The Sql submitted to your database will contain your where clause. You can use SQL Server Profiler to watch as queries are submitted to your DB.
