📋 Help Shape the Roadmap

Take the 3‑minute survey – your feedback keeps EntitySpaces alive and evolving.

🛠️ Requires EntitySpaces Studio

This package provides the SQL Server runtime only — it does not generate code. Entity and Collection classes are generated from your database schema using EntitySpaces Studio, a separate WinForms tool.

  • Get it from the repo: EntitySpaces.Studio
  • Download the most recent .zip — avoid any file tagged -deprecated, that build is kept for reference only.
  • Connect to your database under Settings → Connection, then run the Generated and Custom class templates.

New Features

  • Automatic engine detection — the provider queries SELECT VERSION() on the first call per connection string and caches the result, no configuration required to distinguish MySQL from MariaDB
  • Automatic APPLY → correct SQL strategy per engine: MySQL 8.0.14+ generates native LEFT JOIN LATERAL / JOIN LATERAL, MariaDB 10.2+ generates an equivalent ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY) pattern — same C# query, correct SQL either way
  • Concurrency exception detection — duplicate entry, deadlock, and lock wait timeout all translate to esConcurrencyException
  • Connection pool safety — hasError flag + Transaction.Rollback() in finally, preventing dirty connections from being reused
  • Studio metadata engine now extracts the EXTRA column (VIRTUAL GENERATED / STORED GENERATED) for computed-column detection and TIMESTAMP concurrency detection

Fixes

  • Documented and handled MySQL 8.0's caching_sha2_password default, which requires SslMode=Required (or SslMode=None with AllowPublicKeyRetrieval=True) — connections without this previously failed against default MySQL 8.0 configurations
  • Clarified case-sensitivity handling across platforms — MySQL on Linux is case-sensitive for table/schema names while Windows and MariaDB are not; class generation now documented to always run against the target server to guarantee consistent metadata

Dependency Updates

  • Updated System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager from 10.0.10 to 10.0.11
    • Maintenance release. No API changes affecting EntitySpaces.

Quick Samples

Load a collection:

var customers = new CustomersCollection();
customers.LoadAll();

foreach (var customer in customers)
{
    Console.WriteLine(customer.CompanyName);
}

Create, update, delete an entity:

var employee = new Employees();
employee.FirstName = "Joe";
employee.LastName = "Smith";
employee.Save();               // Create

employee.LastName = "Doe";
employee.Save();               // Update

employee.MarkAsDeleted();
employee.Save();               // Delete

MySQL connection string:

esProviderFactory.Factory = new EntitySpaces.Loader.esDataProviderFactory();

esConnectionElement conn = new esConnectionElement();
conn.Provider = "EntitySpaces.MySqlProvider";
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=myserver;Port=3306;Database=mydb;Uid=myuser;" +
                        "Pwd=mypassword;SslMode=Required;AllowPublicKeyRetrieval=True;";
esConfigSettings.ConnectionInfo.Connections.Add(conn);

More usage examples (joins, paging, transactions, and the full Fluent SQL API): see the main EntitySpaces README.
