Entity Framework allows you to write programs against the EDM and also add a level of abstraction on top of the relational model. This isolation of the logical view of data from the Object Model is accomplished by expressing queries in terms of abstractions using an enhanced query language called E-SQL. This language is specially designed to query data from the EDM. E-SQL was designed to address the need for a language that can query data from its conceptual view, rather than its logical view.
