Generating SQL Strings from LINQ Query

To inspect the SQL generated by your LINQ query, you can convert the LINQ query to a SQL string using the ToQueryString() method.

// Example LINQ query
var query = from o in context.Orders;

// Convert LINQ query to SQL string
string sqlQuery = query.ToQueryString();
Console.WriteLine(sqlQuery);

This code snippet demonstrates how to generate and inspect the SQL query string using LINQ in C# useful for debugging and optimization purposes.
