very very good database

Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.FirstName = "Mike";
emp.LastName = "Smith";
emp.Save();

EmployeeCollection coll = new EmployeeCollection();
emp.Query.Where(coll.Query.LastName.Like("Smi%"));
if (coll.Query.Load())
{
    foreach (Employee emp in coll)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(emp.FirstName);
