Hello,so i have been working in C++ 4-5 months and now i"m on C# for about 3-4 and i see i need databases for almost every application i have in mind. I have allready watched 3-4 hours of video tutorials about bases ( a microsoft access course) and now i know how to work with access but now i need something to comunicate with base from C# program. I first got advices for SQL but lots of my friends told me that even today after 4-5 years of programming and making applications they still don"t need SQL.That LINQ is perfectly fine. My friend was explaining to me that LINQ communicates with a collection and collection automaticaly uses SQL to communicate with base. By learning SQL i get some advantages and more abilities but knowing just LINQ is probably enough,at least for now. So could somebody explain me what did he mean by "collection" and should i start learining SQL right away? what have you personally done?

They're talking about using LINQ to SQL. If you plan on doing anything professionally, learn some SQL.

I don't think you're going to run into a lot of places that use LINQ to replace actual SQL queries. Especially if you're working on a codebase older than 2-3 years it won't even be an option.
LINQ is neat and can be useful, but learning how to use parameterized queries and learning to write SQL is a much more valuable skill when you have to work with a DB.
