About:
LINQPad is a versatile code scratchpad for .NET that allows developers to interactively query databases using LINQ and execute C#/F#/VB scripts without project overhead. It provides instant results in a rich output pane, supporting everything from ad-hoc database exploration to prototyping complex logic with auto-completion and IL visualization.
Key Features:
  • Interactive LINQ query execution against SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and more
  • Support for C#, F#, and VB with NuGet package integration
  • Rich results display including grids, charts, and SQL execution plans
  • Instant code prototyping without project compilation overhead
  • LINQPad 7+ supports .NET Core and .NET 5+ on multiple platforms
Use Cases:
  • Ad-hoc database querying and data analysis without SSMS or GUI tools
  • Rapid .NET code prototyping and algorithm testing
  • Learning LINQ syntax with immediate visual feedback
Alternatives:
  • DBeaver – Cross-platform SQL IDE with broader database support but no .NET scripting
  • Postman – API testing tool, not designed for LINQ or .NET code execution
  • Visual Studio Code – General editor requiring extensions and setup for similar functionality
