To your first point, LINQ-to-SQL can bind database functions for use directly in LINQ queries. I've used this first hand for parsing comma delimited string parameters into table values and joining from there in LINQ.
I haven't used entity framework or any newer tech beyond LINQ to SQL but I'd have to believe such a trivial feature is present in them.
