EFCore Console Application
Creating the Data Model
There are two approaches that can be taken in creating the context and entity classes for your application. With the Code-First Approach approach, you can fine-tune your model by writing the classes manually. Alternatively, you can make use of Reverse Engineering (Scaffolding) to generate these classes automatically from your DB2 schema.
Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code
After Entity Framework Core is set up and the DB2 provider is registered, you can execute LINQ in your code.
using System.Linq; using MySolutionName.Models; System.Text.Encoding.RegisterProvider(System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance); // Include this if you would like to use code pages not bundled in .NET Standard. DB2Context ents = new DB2Context(); var BooksQuery = from Books in ents.Books orderby Books.Author select Books;
