Entity Framework (EF) Core Extension Methods

Note

This feature is available in NCache Enterprise and Professional editions.

The ADO.NET Entity Framework is a popular object-relational mapping framework. It provides abstraction from underlying relational data that is stored in a database and presents its conceptual schema to the application, preventing the need to write database persistence code.

Entity Framework Core can be seen in most of the high transaction applications where scalability and performance cannot be compromised. However, in such critical cases, the database quickly becomes a bottleneck as the database tier does not support adding on more servers. To achieve this scalability, NCache provides extension methods for Entity Framework Core..
