Introduction to Entity Framework Database First Approach
Entity Framework Database First Approach
In this article, I am going to give you a brief introduction to the Entity Framework Database First Approach. In the Entity Framework, the Database first approach is one of the three approaches to interact with the database. The other two approaches are Model First Approach and Code First Approach. Here, in this article, we are going to keep the focus on the Database First Approach of Entity Framework and will learn how to use the DB First approach of Entity Framework to interact with the database.

What is the Database-First approach?
In Entity Framework Database First approach, the Entity Framework creates the model codes (Classes, Properties, DbContext, etc.) or you can say POCO classes from the existing database automatically. Automatically in the sense, we need to provide the necessary details about the database to the entity framework. So, in simple words, we can say that the entity framework will create the model classes based on tables and columns from the relational database.

Entity Data Model (EDM) of Entity Framework Database First Approach
In this article, I am going to discuss the Entity Data Model (EDM) of the Entity Framework Database First Approach in detail. We are going to work with the same example that we created in Our Previous Article. Please read our previous article before proceeding to this article where we created the required database tables, views, and stored procedure with test data as well as we also discussed the step-by-step procedure to interact with the database using Entity Framework Database First Approach.

Entity Data Model (EDM) in Entity Framework:
Entity Framework uses EDM (Entity Data Model) for all Database-Related Operations. Entity Data Model is a model that describes the entities and the relationships between them.

The Visual Designer of the Entity Data Model does not display all the objects it creates. It only displays entities that are mapped to the database tables and views. As we know, we have created some stored procedures in our database. And while creating the Entity Data Model we have also included those stored procedures. But if you look at the Visual Designer of the Entity Data Model, then you will not find those stored procedures as shown in the below image. Here, you can see only the Entities which are mapped to the database tables and views
