How to Effectively Call Stored Procedures in Cosmos DB Using Entity Framework Core

When working with Cosmos DB in an ASP.NET Core project, you might find yourself needing to run stored procedures for various database operations. While using the Cosmos DB client offers a way to execute them, integrating this functionality seamlessly with Entity Framework Core can be a bit challenging. In this guide, we'll explore how to effectively call stored procedures in Cosmos DB using Entity Framework Core.

Understanding the Problem

Many developers turn to Entity Framework Core for interacting with databases due to its ease of use and powerful features. However, when it comes to executing stored procedures in Cosmos DB, some confusion arises as this feature is not directly exposed through Entity Framework Core itself. Traditional ways of executing stored procedures have to be adapted to work within the constraints of Entity Framework in conjunction with Cosmos DB.

The Solution: Executing Stored Procedures with Entity Framework Core

Let's walk through the steps necessary to call stored procedures in Cosmos DB using Entity Framework Core. We will use C# and the appropriate namespaces to achieve this.

Step 1: Import Necessary Namespaces

Before proceeding with the code, ensure that you have imported the following namespaces in your C# file:

Step 2: Implement the Execution Method

You can execute a stored procedure using the Entity Framework Core context by creating an async method. Here's a simple example that demonstrates how to call a stored procedure.

Breakdown of the Code

GetCosmosClient(): This method retrieves the Cosmos client linked to your Entity Framework context.

GetContainer("databaseId", "containerId"): Replace "databaseId" and "containerId" with your actual database and container IDs.

Scripts.ExecuteStoredProcedureAsync: This async method is used to call your stored procedure. You will need to replace "procedureId" with the actual ID of your stored procedure you want to execute.

new PartitionKey("yourKey"): Supply the relevant partition key for the stored procedure call.

Array.Empty dynamic (): If your stored procedure requires parameters, you can replace this with an array of dynamic types.

Step 3: Call the Method

Once you've created the method to execute your stored procedure, you can call it from your application code wherever you need to perform the operation. Ensure that your database context (_context) has been initialized properly and that you're handling async methods appropriately in your application.

Conclusion

Calling stored procedures in Cosmos DB via Entity Framework Core can enhance the efficiency of your web applications by allowing you to carry out more complex operations directly on the database. Following the steps outlined in this post, you should now be able to integrate stored procedures into your workflow seamlessly.

With this approach, you combine the advantages of Entity Framework Core with the powerful capabilities of Cosmos DB stored procedures, ultimately improving your application's performance and maintainability.
