I'm trying to use stored procedures with new Entity Framework Core. I need to start new project soon which will be ASP.Net 5, but not sure if Entity Framework will fit for the job. The application will be triggering several stored procedures per minute and I need output parameters. Will EF be good for this or should I use ADO.Net?
I have tried FromSql and database.ExecuteSqlCommand but no luck.
using (AppDbContext db = factory.Create())
{
var in1 = new SqlParameter
{
ParameterName = "ParamIn1",
DbType = System.Data.DbType.Int64,
Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input
};
var in2 = new SqlParameter
{
ParameterName = "ParamIn2",
DbType = System.Data.DbType.String,
Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input
};
var out1 = new SqlParameter
{
ParameterName = "ParamOut1",
DbType = System.Data.DbType.Int64,
Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Output
};
var out2 = new SqlParameter
{
ParameterName = "ParamOut2",
DbType = System.Data.DbType.String,
Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Output
};
var result = db.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("exec spTestSp", in1, in2, out1, out2);
}
The Output Parameters in Stored Procedures are used to return some value or values. A Stored Procedure can have any number of output parameters. The simple logic is this — If you want to return 1 value then use 1 output parameter, for returning 5 values use 5 output parameters, for 10 use 10, and so on.
Stored procedures are one of the key advantages that the Microsoft SQL server provides. For boosting the query performance, the complex query should be written at the database level through stored procedures. Microsoft . NET Core supports calling of raw query and store procedure through entity framework.
It should work, but I believe you also need to include the parameter names and the OUT
keyword in the command statement
var sql = "exec spTestSp @ParamIn1, @ParamIn2, @ParamOut1 OUT, @ParamOut2 OUT";
var result = db.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(sql, in1, in2, out1, out2);
var out1Value = (long) out1.Value;
var out2Value = (string) out2.Value;
