Entity Framework Core
Entity Framework (EF) Core allows interaction with data mapped to objects. EF Core takes database results and maps them to Entities, closely modeling database schemas. It enables working with data within the application domain. Connections enable associating users, contacts, quotes, and other records, defining relationship purpose. Connection roles describe relationships between records like doctors and patients. Connections can link records within or between entities. Subsidiaries require a 90% stake and voting control. Entity relationships connect tables in databases.
Connecting Entities in Dynamics 365 CRM
Connection Entities
Connection entities link two records in Dynamics 365 CRM, supported across most Entity types. Features include:
- Descriptive information between records.
Enabling Connections
I’ll enable Connections for two custom entities: Family Members and Patient.
Connected entities enable definitions based on data sources. There are three relationships: system, inherited, and editable. The customer entity matches other entities. The CustomerToContact relationship relates the Customer and Contact models.
There are two entity scenarios: connected and disconnected. In connected, the same DbContext retrieves, inserts, updates, and deletes. In disconnected, different DbContexts are used.
Relating and Linking Entities
Advanced techniques connect data from multiple sources to identify relationships between entities. The result is a complete customer and entity view for better decisions.
There are three entity relationships: one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many. For instance, a one-to-one relationship might connect one student entity to one surname entity.
Database Management Systems (DBMS) like MySQL, Oracle, DB2, MSSQL treat entities as tables, representing real-world objects. Entities connect using relationships in databases, just as in real life. Defining relationships specifies entity associations and interactions.
