Overview

The Teradata Entity Framework Core Provider ("EFCore Provider") is an implementation of a database provider for Entity Framework Core. It enables an application to use the Entity Framework Core technology to:

• Load data into and retrieve data from the Teradata SQL Engine by interpreting the LINQ to Entities queries and other Entity Framework Core features to Teradata SQL statements.
• Use functionality that is unique to the Teradata SQL Engine.

EFCore Provider 2.2.x supports Entity Framework Core 2.2.x and Teradata Database 16.10 and later.

EFCore Provider 3.1.x supports Entity Framework Core 3.1.x and Teradata Database 16.10 and later.

EFCore Provider uses the Data Provider to communicate with the Teradata SQL Engine. The EFCore Provider is affected by the limitations of the Teradata SQL Engine (see Limitations).

EFCore Provider is distributed as a NuGet package, available at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Teradata.EntityFrameworkCore/.

Spatial Data (Geospatial) is supported via a separate NTS support package, available at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Teradata.EntityFrameworkCore.NetTopologySuite/.
