Language Integrated Query:

LINQ is the composition of general purpose standard query operators that allow traversal, filtering and projection of data irrespective of the source of data within .NET.

The LINQ query operators use an in-memory XML facility to provide the XPath & XQuery functionalities in the .net based language to act on XML.

The LINQ query operators act on relational data built on integration of SQL-based schema definitions into the CLR.
