DataArc.EntityFrameworkCore

DataArc.EntityFrameworkCore provides an explicit execution layer for Entity Framework Core applications.

It is designed for workflows that need to coordinate queries, commands, bulk operations, transactions, or database tooling across one or more EF Core DbContext boundaries.

EF Core remains responsible for:

entity mapping
change tracking
LINQ translation
database-provider integration
database communication

DataArc controls how application workflows execute that work.

What DataArc provides

DataArc.EntityFrameworkCore supports:

explicit database execution boundaries
command and query factories
command and query pipelines
contract-based or direct DbContext execution
bulk operations
parallel execution across multiple contexts
transactional command workflows
structured execution results
database creation and deletion
SQL script generation
multi-DbContext and multi-database workflows

Core execution model

Database

A workflow can select a contract-based execution boundary explicitly:

var query = await _queryFactory.CreateQueryAsync();

var employees = await query
    .UseDbExecutionContext<IGoogleDbContext>()
    .ReadWhereAsync<Employee>(
        employee => employee.Rating > 4.5);

DataArc can also target a concrete DbContext directly:

var employees = await query
    .UseDbExecutionContext<GoogleDbContext>()
    .ReadWhereAsync<Employee>(
        employee => employee.Rating > 4.5);

Execution-context contracts are optional architectural boundaries. They are not required when targeting the concrete DbContext directly is appropriate.

Example scenarios

DataArc.EntityFrameworkCore can support:

background workers
scheduled jobs
high-volume data imports
batch processing
salary or pricing adjustments
multi-database workflows
company or tenant database onboarding
bulk data distribution
controlled transactional execution
database creation and reset tooling
