v3.8.0

1 year ago

Added support for EF Core 7. This update will now check for database triggers and identify these tables to EF Core 7. EF Core 7 will generate more efficient SQL that is faster to execute but is not compatible if a trigger is on the table. If EF 7 knows there is a trigger on the table, it will revert to using standard SQL (as generated by EF Core 6).
Fix for non-PascalCased foreign keys ending in _id. Thanks to Bryan Tichy.
Include call to .UseLazyLoadingProxies() if Settings.UseLazyLoading = true. Please install the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Proxies NuGet package.
