Creating the Data Model

There are two approaches to creating the context and entity classes for your application. Using the Code-First Approach approach, you can fine-tune your model by writing the classes manually. Alternatively, you can use Reverse Engineering (Scaffolding) to generate these classes automatically from your Azure Data Catalog schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After EF Core is set up and the Azure Data Catalog provider is registered, you can begin querying your data with LINQ:

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

AzureDataCatalogContext ents = new AzureDataCatalogContext();
var TablesQuery = from Tables in ents.Tables
                   orderby Tables.Type
                   select Tables;
