Advantages of Entity Framework? The advantages of EF are given bellow:
It provides auto generated code
It reduce development time
It reduce development cost
It enables developers to visually design models and mapping of database
It provides capability of programming a conceptual model.
It provides unique syntax (LINQ / Yoda) for all object queries whether it is database or not
It allow multiple conceptual models to mapped to a single storage schema
It’s easy to map business objects (with drag & drop tables).
Differentiate strong typing and weak typing In strong typing, the data types of variable are checked at compile time. On the other hand, in case of weak typing the variable data types are checked at runtime. In case of strong typing, there is no chance of compilation error. Scripts use weak typing and hence issues arises at runtime.
Disadvantages of Entity Framework? Lazy loading is the main drawbacks of EF
Its syntax is complicated
Its logical schema is not able to understand business entities and relation among each other
Logical schema of database is not capable of using certain parts of application
It is not available for every RDMS
Need to handle data in nontraditional way
It does not work if we change any schema of the database. We need to update the schema on the solution.
It is not good for huge domain model.
