Disadvantages of CAML over LINQ in SharePoint 2010


Disadvantages of CAML:


Since CAML query is text based, If you are joining two lists accross a lookup field there may be various problems.
you do not know until run time if the query is written correctly. If the query is not correct, then it will simply fail at run time.
It has no IntelliSense support at design time.
When writing the query, you have no idea what CAML elements are legal in the syntax without having a reference open.
The query is difficult to read. You cannot determine easily what the query is doing and what lists are being joined.
The data returned from the query is placed in a SPListItem collection, which does not provide strongly typed business entities.

Advantages of LINQ over CAML:
It is an object-oriented query language.
It provides strongly typed objects at design time, you can create queries in code and know that they are correct because the code compiles.
The strongly typed objects provide IntelliSense at design time, which makes it much easier to construct a correct query.
The results are returned from queries as strongly typed objects, so the items and fields also provide IntelliSense and compile-time checking.
