title: How to send regular in-line SQL in entity framework
body: <p>Now don't go getting all huffy just yet. This is only for a very specific situation. So rather than asking why I would EVER want to send in-line string SQL through EF, let's just try to stay on the topic of "how".</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to do it the old-fashioned route using regular old ADO.NET or does EF provide me with a way to execute a straight sql select/nonquery?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
