// While querying data from database, IQueryable executes select query on server side with all filters.
// Hence does less work and becomes fast.
// Best for querying data from out-memory(like remote database, service) collections.
IQueryable <AbstractClass_Interfaces_Override_Virtual_Sealed> query =

// This means that you can execute a query as frequently as you want to.
// This is useful when, for example, you have a database that is being updated by other applications.
// In your application, you can create a query to retrieve the latest information and repeatedly execute the query,
// returning the updated information every time.
/*
* The difference is that IQueryable<T> is the interface that allows LINQ-to-SQL (LINQ.-to-anything really) to work.
* So if you further refine your query on an IQueryable<T>, that query will be executed in the database, if possible.
*
* For the IEnumerable<T> case, it will be LINQ-to-object, meaning that all objects matching the original query will have
* to be loaded into memory from the database.
*
* In code:
*
* IQueryable<Customer> custs = ...;
* // Later on...
* var goldCustomers = custs.Where(c => c.IsGold);
* That code will execute SQL to only select gold customers. The following code, on the other hand,
* will execute the original query in the database, then filtering out the non-gold customers in the memory:
*
* IEnumerable<Customer> custs = ...;
* // Later on...
* var goldCustomers = custs.Where(c => c.IsGold);
* This is quite an important difference, and working on IQueryable<T> can in many cases save you from returning
* too many rows from the database. Another prime example is doing paging: If you use Take and Skip on IQueryable,
* you will only get the number of rows requested; doing that on an IEnumerable<T> will cause all of your rows to be loaded in memory.
