January 9, 2020Expand to see status from this week...
We're back with weekly updates after a break for the holiday period. What are we doing now?Critical bugs in 3.1 are now being considered for patch releases. The first patch release is scheduled for later this month. Planning for the EF Core "5.0" release (i.e. the one after 3.1) is being finalized and we hope to post an overview in the next couple of weeks. Work on several major features planned for 5.0 has already begun. See the pull requests section below for details. The 115+ issues already fixed for 5.0 can be found on GitHUb In addition, we are working on:

New features in EF Core 5.0As stated above, planning of 5.0 major features is ongoing, but in addition to bug fixes we have already merged a few small features/enhancements. Simple way to get generated SQLEF Core 5.0 introduces the var query = context.Set<Customer>().Where(c => c.City == city);
Console.WriteLine(query.ToQueryString())results in this output when using the SQL Server database provider: DECLARE p0 nvarchar(4000) = N'London';
SELECT [c].[CustomerID], [c].[Address], [c].[City], [c].[CompanyName], [c].[ContactName], [c].[ContactTitle], [c].[Country], [c].[Fax], [c].[Phone], [c].[PostalCode], [c].[Region]
FROM [Customers] AS [c]
WHERE [c].[City] = @__city_0Notice that declarations for parameters of the correct type are also included in the output. This allows copy/pasting to SQL Server Management Studio, or similar tools, such that the query can be executed for debugging/analysis. Pull requests over the holiday periodCommunity contributions

Quick peak at filtered IncludeGlobal query filters have been supported since EF Core 2.0. For example, this query uses Include in its traditional form to query for Blogs and also load every associated Post. var blogs = context.Blogs
.Include(e => e.Posts)
.ToList();
DisplayBlogs(blogs);Typical output from this query might be: In EF Core 5.0, Include can now be given a var blogsWithCheese = context.Blogs
.Include(e => e.Posts.Where(p => p.Title.Contains("Cheese")))
.ToList();
DisplayBlogs(blogsWithCheese);This translates to the following SQL when using the SQL Server databse provider: SELECT [b].[Id], [b].[Title], [t].[Id], [t].[BlogId], [t].[Title]
FROM [Blogs] AS [b]
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT [p].[Id], [p].[BlogId], [p].[Title]
FROM [Post] AS [p]
WHERE CHARINDEX(N'Cheese', [p].[Title]) > 0
) AS [t] ON [b].[Id] = [t].[BlogId]
ORDER BY [b].[Id], [t].[Id]Using the same data as before, the output is now: EF Core 5.0Most of the team is now heads-down investigating, learning about, designing, and implementing new features for EF Core 5.0.

HighlightsMany-to-many is working now in the daily builds! We're still finishing off support, but common cases are working now. Let's walk through a simple end-to-end example. Here are our entity types: public class Post
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public ICollection<Tag> Tags { get; set; }
}
public class Tag
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
public ICollection<Post> Posts { get; set; }
}Notice that Post contains a collection of Tags, and Tag contains a collection of Posts. EF Core 5.0 recognizes this as a many-to-many relationship by convention. This means no code is requied in public class BlogContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Post> Posts { get; set; }
protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
=> optionsBuilder
.LogTo(Console.WriteLine, LogLevel.Information)
.EnableSensitiveDataLogging()
.UseSqlite("Data Source = test.db");
}The DbSet for Posts is all EF Core needs to discover Post and Tag and their many-to-many relationship. When Migrations (or CREATE TABLE "Posts" (
"Id" INTEGER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT "PK_Posts" PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
"Name" TEXT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE "Tag" (
"Id" INTEGER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT "PK_Tag" PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
"Text" TEXT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE "PostTag" (
"Post_Id" INTEGER NOT NULL,
"Tag_Id" INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "PK_PostTag" PRIMARY KEY ("Post_Id", "Tag_Id"),
CONSTRAINT "FK_PostTag_Posts_Post_Id" FOREIGN KEY ("Post_Id") REFERENCES "Posts" ("Id") ON DELETE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT "FK_PostTag_Tag_Tag_Id" FOREIGN KEY ("Tag_Id") REFERENCES "Tag" ("Id") ON DELETE CASCADE
);(We plan to remove the underscores from the key names here.) Let's write a small console app to save and query some entities: public static class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
using (var context = new BlogContext())
{
context.Database.EnsureDeleted();
context.Database.EnsureCreated();
var beginnerTag = new Tag {Text = "Beginner"};
var advancedTag = new Tag {Text = "Advanced"};
var efCoreTag = new Tag {Text = "EF Core"};
context.AddRange(
new Post {Name = "EF Core 101", Tags = new List<Tag> {beginnerTag, efCoreTag}},
new Post {Name = "Writing an EF database provider", Tags = new List<Tag> {advancedTag, efCoreTag}},
new Post {Name = "Savepoints in EF Core", Tags = new List<Tag> {beginnerTag, efCoreTag}});
context.SaveChanges();
}
using (var context = new BlogContext())
{
foreach (var post in context.Posts.Include(e => e.Tags))
{
Console.Write($"Post \"{post.Name}\" has tags");
foreach (var tag in post.Tags)
{
Console.Write($" '{tag.Text}'");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}
}In this example, first three Tags are created and these are added to the INSERT INTO "Posts" ("Name")
VALUES (@p0);
SELECT "Id"
FROM "Posts"
WHERE changes() = 1 AND "rowid" = last_insert_rowid();
INSERT INTO "Posts" ("Name")
VALUES (@p0);
SELECT "Id"
FROM "Posts"
WHERE changes() = 1 AND "rowid" = last_insert_rowid();
INSERT INTO "Posts" ("Name")
VALUES (@p0);
SELECT "Id"
FROM "Posts"
WHERE changes() = 1 AND "rowid" = last_insert_rowid();
INSERT INTO "Tag" ("Text")
VALUES (@p0);
SELECT "Id"
FROM "Tag"
WHERE changes() = 1 AND "rowid" = last_insert_rowid();
INSERT INTO "Tag" ("Text")
VALUES (@p0);
SELECT "Id"
FROM "Tag"
WHERE changes() = 1 AND "rowid" = last_insert_rowid();
INSERT INTO "Tag" ("Text")
VALUES (@p0);
SELECT "Id"
FROM "Tag"
WHERE changes() = 1 AND "rowid" = last_insert_rowid();
INSERT INTO "PostTag" ("Post_Id", "Tag_Id")
VALUES (@p1, @p2);
INSERT INTO "PostTag" ("Post_Id", "Tag_Id")
VALUES (@p0, @p1);
INSERT INTO "PostTag" ("Post_Id", "Tag_Id")
VALUES (@p0, @p1);
INSERT INTO "PostTag" ("Post_Id", "Tag_Id")
VALUES (@p0, @p1);
INSERT INTO "PostTag" ("Post_Id", "Tag_Id")
VALUES (@p0, @p1);
INSERT INTO "PostTag" ("Post_Id", "Tag_Id")
VALUES (@p0, @p1);Notice that EF Core first inserts the Posts and Tags, then creates and inserts rows into the join table for the relationships. Finally, the application creates a new DbContext and queries back the Posts and their related Tags. The SQL generated is: Executed DbCommand (0ms) [Parameters=[], CommandType='Text', CommandTimeout='30']
SELECT "p"."Id", "p"."Name", "t0"."Post_Id", "t0"."Tag_Id", "t0"."Id", "t0"."Text"
FROM "Posts" AS "p"
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT "p0"."Post_Id", "p0"."Tag_Id", "t"."Id", "t"."Text"
FROM "PostTag" AS "p0"
INNER JOIN "Tag" AS "t" ON "p0"."Tag_Id" = "t"."Id"
) AS "t0" ON "p"."Id" = "t0"."Post_Id"
ORDER BY "p"."Id", "t0"."Post_Id", "t0"."Tag_Id", "t0"."Id"
Notice that the query automatically uses the join table to bring back all related Tags. This demo just scratches the surface of what can be done with many-to-many relationships. For example, look for future content that shows how to introduce a join table payload while still continuing to use the relationship as many-to-many!
