Entity Framework & LINQ...
recently talked to a company who is looking for a new DBA. As got into the conversation about their environment, it came out that all (or at least the vast majority) of their SQL is coming from the application through the Entity Framework and is all coded in LINQ. Essentially, the C# developers own all of the "sql" code.
My first instinct was to simply maintain eye contact, not make any sudden movements and back out slowly... Later, upon reflection, I began to wander, is this really as bad as it sounds or am I simply projecting my own prejudices onto a perfectly reasonable model that I simply don't understand.
I've always held to the belief that the only access the application should have to the database is the ability to execute stored procedures and that all database logic should be contained in the database itself... 
So, my questions are:
Has anyone here had any experience working in this type of environment?
If so, was I way off base with my initial reaction?
Is there an upside to this, that I'm simply not seeing, or is this simply a kludge for companies who don't want to invest in compliant SQL developers?
Any feedback or relevant links on the topic would be appreciated.
