Calling DB Function with Entity Framework 6

Calling DB Function with Entity Framework 6

In Entity Framework 6, you can call a database function using the SqlQuery method of the Database class. This method allows you to execute raw SQL queries against the database and return the results as entities or scalar values.

Here's an example of how to call a database function using Entity Framework 6:

// Define a model class to hold the function result public class FunctionResult { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } } // Call the database function using SqlQuery var results = myDbContext.Database.SqlQuery<FunctionResult>("SELECT * FROM MyFunction()").ToList(); // Process the results foreach (var result in results) { Console.WriteLine($"Id: {result.Id}, Name: {result.Name}"); }

In this example, a FunctionResult class is defined to hold the result of the database function, which returns two columns named Id and Name. The SqlQuery method is then called on the Database object of the myDbContext context, passing in a raw SQL query that calls the MyFunction function. The ToList method is called to execute the query and return the results as a list of FunctionResult objects. Finally, the results are processed in a loop and printed to the console.

It's important to note that calling a database function using SqlQuery can have performance implications, and should only be done when necessary. You should also be careful to ensure that the SQL query is properly constructed and does not introduce SQL injection vulnerabilities.
