Upcoming Community Standup: Compiled ModelsEF Core creates an internal model for entity types and their database mappings. This model is typically built once when the application starts. Starting with EF Core 6.0, it is now possible to instead build this model at compile time. This can reduce startup time by up to 67% for large models. Join us for the next EF Core Community Standup, where the team will introduce compiled models and demo their use. The EF Core Community Standups are live-streamed about once every two weeks.

HighlightsBiweekly updates are back! EF Core 6.0 preview 5 and preview 6 have shipped while we were gone. Some significant new features include: Pre-convention model configurationThis feature allows the mapping for a given CLR type to be configured once, removing the need to configure every property of the type individually. For example, assume you always store properties of your enum type as strings in the database. Instead of configuring every enum property on every entity type, you can now override use protected override void ConfigureConventions(ModelConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder)
{
configurationBuilder.Properties<MyEnum>()
.HaveConversion<string>()
.HaveMaxLength(24);
} As can be seen in this example, pre-convention configuration supports specifying a default value conversion for any property of a given type, which has been a highly requested feature since we introduced value conversions. Compiled modelsCompiling the EF Core model can dramatically reduce startup time for applications with many entity types. See the preview 5 blog post and the EF Core Community Standup for more information. Support split queries for projections containing non-navigation collectionsEF Core 5.0 introduced generation of multiple SQL queries from a single LINQ query. EF Core 6.0 can now also use this pattern in many cases involving projection of collections, bringing significant potential performance benefits. CutsAs we are approaching the release of EF Core 6.0, we re-evaluated the remaining work against the timeline and have had to make some cuts. In particular, the following have been cut:
We know many of you have been waiting for these features, and we apologize that we cannot get them into the 6.0 release. They will be high on the priority list for EF Core 7.0, where we can ensure they get enough time in previews for feedback, evaluation, and quality before shipping. Latest Community Standup: ODataOData is one of the best protocols out there to supercharge your ASP.NET Core APIs, with many capabilities such as shaping, filtering, batching and ordering. It executes its queries on the server which tremendously improves the performance on the client side.

Try it! We need your feedback! (Allow defining column order via [ColumnAttribute.Order] when creating tables will ship in RC2.) Latest Community Standup: PostgreSQL and EF CoreIn the latest Entity Framework Community Standup, Shay Rojansky (@roji) demonstrated using EF Core with PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL has some advanced capabilities not usually found in other relational databases. In this session, Shay showed several of these features, and demoed how EF Core makes these accessible. The EF Core Community Standups are live-streamed about once every two weeks. This is your opportunity to interact with the EF team and others from the .NET data community.

Latest Community Standup: SQL Server Temporal TablesIn the latest Entity Framework Community Standup, Arthur Vickers (@ajcvickers) demonstrated using EF Core 6.0 with SQL Server temporal tables. Temporal tables automatically keep track of all the data ever stored in a table, even after that data has been updated or deleted.

The EF Core Community Standups are live-streamed about once every two weeks. This is your opportunity to interact with the EF team and others from the .NET data community.

Latest Community Standup: Noda TimeIn the latest Entity Framework Community Standup, the EF team talks about Noda Time with Jon Skeet (@jskeet). Noda Time is an alternative date and time API for .NET. It helps you to think about your data more clearly, and express operations on that data more precisely. We talk about Noda Time in general and the problems it solves, as well as how it can be used in LINQ queries and updates when using EF Core with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or SQLite.
