Function Mappings of the Azure Cosmos DB EF Core Provider

This page shows which .NET members are translated into which SQL functions when using the Azure Cosmos DB provider.

Date and time functions

.NET SQL
DateTime.UtcNow GetCurrentDateTime()
DateTimeOffset.UtcNow GetCurrentDateTime()

Numeric functions

.NET SQL Added in
double.DegreesToRadians(x) RADIANS(@x) EF Core 8.0
double.RadiansToDegrees(x) DEGREES(@x) EF Core 8.0
EF.Functions.Random() RAND()
Math.Abs(value) ABS(@value)
Math.Acos(d) ACOS(@d)
Math.Asin(d) ASIN(@d)
Math.Atan(d) ATAN(@d)
Math.Atan2(y, x) ATN2(@y, @x)
Math.Ceiling(d) CEILING(@d)
Math.Cos(d) COS(@d)

Tip

In addition to the methods listed here, corresponding generic math implementations and MathF methods are also translated. For example, Math.Sin, MathF.Sin, double.Sin, and float.Sin all map to the SIN function in SQL.

string.Equals(a, b, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) STRINGEQUALS(@a, @b, true)
stringValue.Contains(value) CONTAINS(@stringValue, @value)
stringValue.EndsWith(value) ENDSWITH(@stringValue, @value)
stringValue.Equals(value, StringComparison.Ordinal) STRINGEQUALS(@stringValue, @value)
