The problem with these classes is that they force the developer to work explicitly
with tables, records, and columns, while modern languages such as C# and
VB.NET use object-oriented paradigms.
Now that the object-oriented paradigm is the prevailing model in software
development, developers incur a large amount of overhead in mapping it to other
abstractions, specifically relational databases and XML. The result is that a lot of
time is spent on writing plumbing code.3 Removing this burden would increase
productivity in data-intensive programming, which LINQ helps us do.
But it’s not only about productivity! It also impacts quality. Writing tedious
and fragile plumbing code can lead to insidious defects in software or degraded
performance.
