RelationalQueryableExtensions.FromSql Method

Definition

Overloads

FromSql<TEntity>(DbSet<TEntity>, FormattableString)

Creates a LINQ query based on an interpolated string representing a SQL query.

FromSql<TEntity>(IQueryable<TEntity>, FormattableString)
Obsolete.

Creates a LINQ query based on an interpolated string representing a SQL query.

If the database provider supports composing on the supplied SQL, you can compose on top of the raw SQL query using LINQ operators - context.Blogs.FromSql("SELECT * FROM dbo.Blogs").OrderBy(b => b.Name).

As with any API that accepts SQL it is important to parameterize any user input to protect against a SQL injection attack. You can include interpolated parameter place holders in the SQL query string. Any interpolated parameter values you supply will automatically be converted to a DbParameter - context.Blogs.FromSql($"SELECT * FROM [dbo].[SearchBlogs]({userSuppliedSearchTerm})").

FromSql<TEntity>(IQueryable<TEntity>, RawSqlString, Object[])
Obsolete.

Creates a LINQ query based on a raw SQL query.

If the database provider supports composing on the supplied SQL, you can compose on top of the raw SQL query using LINQ operators - context.Blogs.FromSql("SELECT * FROM dbo.Blogs").OrderBy(b => b.Name).

As with any API that accepts SQL it is important to parameterize any user input to protect against a SQL injection attack. You can include parameter place holders in the SQL query string and then supply parameter values as additional arguments. Any parameter values you supply will automatically be converted to a DbParameter - context.Blogs.FromSql("SELECT * FROM [dbo].[SearchBlogs]({0})", userSuppliedSearchTerm).

This overload also accepts DbParameter instances as parameter values. This allows you to use named parameters in the SQL query string - context.Blogs.FromSql("SELECT * FROM [dbo].[SearchBlogs]({@searchTerm})", new SqlParameter("@searchTerm", userSuppliedSearchTerm))

FromSql<TEntity>(IQueryable<TEntity>, String, Object[])

FromSql<TEntity>(DbSet<TEntity>, FormattableString)

Creates a LINQ query based on an interpolated string representing a SQL query.

public static System.Linq.IQueryable<TEntity> FromSql<TEntity> (this Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbSet<TEntity> source, FormattableString sql) where TEntity : class;
static member FromSql : Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbSet<'Entity (requires 'Entity : null)> * FormattableString -> System.Linq.IQueryable<'Entity (requires 'Entity : null)> (requires 'Entity : null)
<Extension()>
Public Function FromSql(Of TEntity As Class) (source As DbSet(Of TEntity), sql As FormattableString) As IQueryable(Of TEntity)

Type Parameters

TEntity

The type of the elements of source.

Parameters

source
DbSet<TEntity>

An IQueryable<T> to use as the base of the interpolated string SQL query (typically a DbSet<TEntity>).

sql
FormattableString

The interpolated string representing a SQL query with parameters.

Returns

IQueryable<TEntity>

An IQueryable<T> representing the interpolated string SQL query.

Remarks

If the database provider supports composing on the supplied SQL, you can compose on top of the raw SQL query using LINQ operators.

As with any API that accepts SQL it is important to parameterize any user input to protect against a SQL injection attack. You can include interpolated parameter place holders in the SQL query string. Any interpolated parameter values you supply will automatically be converted to a DbParameter.

See Executing raw SQL commands with EF Core for more information and examples.

Applies to

FromSql<TEntity>(IQueryable<TEntity>, FormattableString)

Caution

For returning objects from SQL queries using plain strings, use FromSqlRaw instead. For returning objects from SQL queries using interpolated string syntax to create parameters, use FromSqlInterpolated instead. Call either new method directly on the DbSet at the root of the query.
