ef-core-azure-sql

Configures Entity Framework Core against Azure SQL Database, where retry is on by default and redefines a transaction: the execution strategy refuses a user-initiated transaction, and the wrapper it tells you to write replays the whole unit, so a fault after the commit writes the row twice and reports success. Also covers UseAzureSql versus UseSqlServer, EnableRetryOnFailure, JSON mapping and split queries. Use when a DbContext targets Azure SQL Database, and for "EnableRetryOnFailure", "connection resiliency for EF Core", "UseAzureSql or UseSqlServer", "AsSplitQuery", an Include returning tens of thousands of rows, "does not support user-initiated transactions", duplicated rows after a retry, or a migration that retypes JSON columns. Not general EF Core: pooling is connect-from-dotnet, retry connect-to-azure-sql, identity entra-id-auth, a pipeline github-actions-for-sql.
