Some aspects of optimizing LINQ queries in C # .NET for MS SQL Server

LINQ entered .NET as a new powerful data manipulation language. LINQ to SQL as part of it allows you to quite comfortably communicate with the DBMS using for example the Entity Framework. However, quite often applying it, developers forget to look at what kind of SQL query will generate a queryable provider, in your case - the Entity Framework.

Let us examine two main points by example.
To do this, create a database Test in SQL Server, and create two tables in it using the following query:

Creating tables

USE [TEST]
GO

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Ref](
	[ID] [int] NOT NULL,
	[ID2] [int] NOT NULL,
	[Name] [nvarchar](255) NOT NULL,
	[InsertUTCDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Ref] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
	[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Ref] ADD  CONSTRAINT [DF_Ref_InsertUTCDate]  DEFAULT (getutcdate()) FOR [InsertUTCDate]
GO

USE [TEST]
GO

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer](
	[ID] [int] NOT NULL,
	[Name] [nvarchar](255) NOT NULL,
	[Ref_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
	[InsertUTCDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
	[Ref_ID2] [int] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Customer] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
	[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ADD  CONSTRAINT [DF_Customer_Ref_ID]  DEFAULT ((0)) FOR [Ref_ID]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ADD  CONSTRAINT [DF_Customer_InsertUTCDate]  DEFAULT (getutcdate()) FOR [InsertUTCDate]
GO

           ([ID]
           ,[ID2]
           ,[Name])
    SELECT
           @ind
           ,@ind
           ,CAST(@ind AS NVARCHAR(255));

	SET @ind=@ind+1;
END 
GO

	ELSE IF (@ind%37=0) SET @ind_ref=11;
	ELSE SET @ind_ref=@ind%1190000;
	
	INSERT INTO [dbo].[Customer]
	           ([ID]
	           ,[Name]
	           ,[Ref_ID]
	           ,[Ref_ID2])
	     SELECT
	           @ind,
	           CAST(@ind AS NVARCHAR(255)),
