Querying conceptual model with Entity SQL

Thought I read somewhere that you in fact can query your conceptual model with Entity Sql, using string based queries as such:

class DBSetTest<T> : List<T> 
{
    DBEntities db = new DBEntities();

    public DBSetTest()
    {
        ObjectQuery<T> test = new ObjectQuery<T>("SELECT Name FROM Sessions WHERE  Name = 'sean'", db);

        foreach (var v in test)
        {
            this.Add(v); 
        }
    }     
}

Where 'Sessions' is a custom Entity Type I defined with a 'DefiningQuery'. I would otherwise query it with normal linq syntax. Does Entity SQL only query the store or can it query my conceptual model just like LINQ-to-Entities does? If so not sure I have the right syntax, since it probably isn't sql syntax. My goal is to create a sort of custom generic list here, where I can write dynamic queries against my conceptual model.

I get the following error:

'Name' could not be resolved in the current scope or context. Make sure that开发者_如何学C all referenced variables are in scope, that required schemas are loaded, and that namespaces are referenced correctly. Near simple identifier, line 1, column 43.

I think, It is not valid Entity SQL sintax, probably you must add some keyword like this :

SELECT VALUE s.Name FROM your_ObjectContext_name.Sessions AS s WHERE s.Name = 'sean'

The error you get says that you must put it. before Name, like this:

"SELECT it.Name FROM Sessions WHERE it.Name = 'sean'"
