I'm know you know this - it's very sad if indeed EF doesn't support table types. TTs were implemented in SQL 2008. I think nearly seven years is enough time. :)

Actually, if you were using pure ADO.NET, you can pass a datatable to a proc and do the UPDATE in one DML statement.

If EF can't do this, I think it's pretty unfortunate.
