When do LINQ-to-SQL queries execute?

I just want to confirm... LINQ-to-SQL queries never execute (hits the database) until it is enumerated, right?

Does anyone know if this is the same for LINQ-to-Entities?

Thanks!

Yes, this is called Deferred Execution.

A: 

Yes, they behave the same.

The query will be executed upon the first usage of the variable.
