Entity Framework Core 10 Preview 7 - Release Notes

Entity Framework Core 10 updates:

• What's new in Entity Framework Core 10 documentation
• Breaking change in Entity Framework Core 10

Improved translation for parameterized collection

A notoriously difficult problem with relational databases is queries that involve parameterized collections:

int[] ids = [1, 2, 3];
var blogs = await context.Blogs.Where(b => ids.Contains(b.Id)).ToListAsync();

EF 10.0 introduces a new default translation mode for parameterized collections, where each value in the collection is translated into its own scalar parameter:

SELECT [b].[Id], [b].[Name]
FROM [Blogs] AS [b]
WHERE [b].[Id] IN (@ids1, @ids2, @ids3)

For more information, see the EF release notes.

Small improvements and bug fixes

• Fix Microsoft.Data.Sqlite behavior around DateTime, DateTimeOffset and UTC, see breaking change notes (#36195).
• Fix translation of DefaultIfEmpty in various scenarios (#19095, #33343, #36208).
