As the title says, how do I view the SQL generated by Entity Framework from within my code? I’m running into an error where the EF is crashing because a field is generated by the database (a DateTime field), and I thought I set it to know that the store is generating it via StoreGeneratedPattern, but it’s still crashing, so I would like to see what exactly it’s trying to push up to the database.
P.S. I’ve only been using EF for about an hour now… Switching from L2S.
Since you don’t have Sql Profiler, your best choice would be LINQPad. You can use your existing assembly.
Click
Add connection->Use a typed data context from your own assembly->Entity frameworkand select your dll.You can write queries directly against your model (or copy-paste from your code). Select the
SQL‘tab’ under the query window to view the generated SQL code.
