How is LINQ useful than Stored Procedures?

LINQ is useful than stored procedures in the following ways:

• Deployment: In LINQ, deployment becomes easier as everything is compiled into a single DLL. However, in Stored Procedures, an additional script has to be provided.
• Debugging: since LINQ is a part of .NET languages, queries can be debugged using the visual studio’s debugger. In the case of Stored Procedures, there is difficulty in debugging.
• Type safety at the compile time, all the queries errors are checked as LINQ is type safe. However, stored procedures are not type-safe, so there is a difficulty in checking the errors.
