Read Original

This technical article explains how to leverage SQL Server's built-in functions (e.g., SOUNDEX, DATEADD) within Entity Framework Core queries, which lack direct C# counterparts. It demonstrates registering a function using the DbFunction attribute in a DbContext and using it in a LINQ query to generate the appropriate SQL, enabling fuzzy string matching and other database-specific logic in a provider-agnostic way.
