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 EnterpriseDB schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After Entity Framework Core is set up and the EnterpriseDB 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.
EnterpriseDBContext ents = new EnterpriseDBContext();
var OrdersQuery = from Orders in ents.Orders
                   orderby Orders.ShipCity
                   select Orders;
