title: Using NOLOCK Hint in EF4?
body: <p>We're evaluating EF4 and my DBA says we must use the NOLOCK hint in all our SELECT statements.  So I'm looking into how to make this happen when using EF4.</p>
  
  <p>I've read the different ideas on how to make this happen in EF4, but all seem like a work around and not sanctioned by Microsoft or EF4.  What is the "official Microsoft" response to someone who wants their SELECT statement(s) to include the NOLOCK hint when using LINQ-to-SQL / LINQ-to-Entities and EF4?</p>
  
  <p>By the way, the absolute best information I have found was <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/628004/high-volumn-site-using-ado-net-transactionscope-vs-executecommand-on-nolock-read">right here</a> and I encourage everyone interested in this topic to read this thread.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
