Remarks

The results of a LINQ query against a DbSet<TEntity> will contain the results returned from the database and may not reflect changes made in the context that have not been persisted to the database. For example, the results will not contain newly added entities and may still contain entities that are marked for deletion.

Depending on the database being used, some parts of a LINQ query against a DbSet<TEntity> may be evaluated in memory rather than being translated into a database query.

DbSet<TEntity> objects are usually obtained from a DbSet<TEntity> property on a derived DbContext or from the Set<TEntity>() method.

Entity Framework Core does not support multiple parallel operations being run on the same DbContext instance. This includes both parallel execution of async queries and any explicit concurrent use from multiple threads. Therefore, always await async calls immediately, or use separate DbContext instances for operations that execute in parallel. See Avoiding DbContext threading issues for more information and examples.

See DbContext lifetime, configuration, and initialization, Querying data with EF Core, and Changing tracking for more information and examples.

FromSql<TEntity>(DbSet<TEntity>, FormattableString)

Creates a LINQ query based on an interpolated string representing a SQL query.

FromSql<TEntity>(IQueryable<TEntity>, RawSqlString, Object[])
Obsolete.

Creates a LINQ query based on a raw SQL query.

If the database provider supports composing on the supplied SQL, you can compose on top of the raw SQL query using LINQ operators - context.Blogs.FromSql("SELECT * FROM dbo.Blogs").OrderBy(b => b.Name).

As with any API that accepts SQL it is important to parameterize any user input to protect against a SQL injection attack. You can include parameter place holders in the SQL query string and then supply parameter values as additional arguments. Any parameter values you supply will automatically be converted to a DbParameter - context.Blogs.FromSql("SELECT * FROM [dbo].[SearchBlogs]({0})", userSuppliedSearchTerm).

This overload also accepts DbParameter instances as parameter values. This allows you to use named parameters in the SQL query string - context.Blogs.FromSql("SELECT * FROM [dbo].[SearchBlogs]({@searchTerm})", new SqlParameter("@searchTerm", userSuppliedSearchTerm))
