Progress?
It was mentioned on an EF livestream that progress was being made but the only commit is from 2021. Is there code being worked on? If so can we see it in case we can help out?
@Wraith2 there's definitely been progress, and we're also discussing internally about future directions for this. We'll communicate on this soon, hang tight.
Just out of curiosity, why is this being worked on behind closed doors at the moment?
From what I see: Woodstar been added as one of the goals of EF Core 8: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/29853

Bump ^
Would love to see this opened up to the community. If we've learned anything from the last couple of years, performance work gets a lot of outside eyeballs and contributions. Please, let us help.

It's 4 months later. Can you define "soon" for me?
We'll very likely post an update in the next few weeks.
Also few now has a whole different meaning to me 😄
Everyone, we're now heads-down in the last phases of .NET/EF 8.0 feature work, before the window for improvements closes. I hoped to be able to do this much earlier, but unfortunately there have been many unscheduled things that required our attention.
We'll post an update once the release goes into stabilization and things calm down a bit.
Given that EF 8 is now in stabilization mode, per https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/29853#issuecomment-1703932526 can we get some information what's going on please? Even if we don't get code can we get some sort of information about what's happened and what is yet to happen?
@Wraith2 unfortunately I'm still extremely busy with 8.0-related work, and that's unlikely to change before the release in November. We've done some investigation and prototype coding in 8.0, but a serious write-up is needed to describe that, and I simply don't have the time to do that at the moment.
I'm sorry things are taking this long, but it is what it is. I promise that once I get some breathing space I'll prioritize summarizing what we've done and the state of affairs.
Keep up the awesome work @roji (and team). We respect what you're doing 🤗
@roji, apologies for the probe but is the adapter going to be ready by February?
I'm doing a talk about EF Core + SQL Server; a deeper dive and at least having information on differences would be greatly appreciated. Especially, if the "async" issue will be fixed when needing to download multiple MBs from SQL Server to .NET.
The plan is to show less-known features of EF Core and SQL Server, as well as how to make them work well together, as there is very little material on this.
specially, if the "async" issue will be fixed when needing to download multiple MBs from SQL Server to .NET.
You may want to know about https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/pull/2164 which should be in the next full release.
Thank you, @Wraith2! :)
I checked this GB issue weeks ago, and then I tried with the Preview 3 version of the adapter and EF Core 8 RC2. My demo currently uses Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 5.2.0-preview3.23201.1 and EF Core 8.0.0 but I'll return to this once preview 4 is out. :) (or try to set it up locally if I get too bored on Xmas)
I still would appreciate it if there are any more in-depth differences between SqlServer.Core and Microsoft.Data.SqlClient that I could mention at my talk to get people excited for its release. :)
