CRUD Operations on Multiple Objects

These scenarios demonstrate how to perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations on a collection of 100 objects.

If the ORM supports it, the operation should be performed with a single SQL statement.

It should be noted that performance of the batch update and delete operations is pretty low, Entity Framework Core will Update or Delete every record one by one.

There is a third-party library can implement high-performance batch operations, which is named Zack.EFCore.Batch. It can be obtained from https://github.com/yangzhongke/Zack.EFCore.Batch.
