10 things you didn't know EF Core can do
summary
A practical checklist of 11 EF Core capabilities (one is fake): compiled queries to precompile LINQ and cut per-request parsing, SQL Server hierarchyid support via the provider package for single-roundtrip tree queries, JSON columns for nested objects instead of extra tables, raw SQL that composes with LINQ and approaches Dapper performance, many-to-many and several inheritance mappings (TPH, TPT, TPC), logical deletes via shadow props and global filters, and control over batching; first live demo fails then subsequent demos run successfully; EF Core 8+ is the era referenced.
