• Bitwise Aggregates (BitOr, BitAnd, BitXor) (PostgreSQL)
• Nested (virtual) Transactions
• Table Hints (SQL Server)
• Queries across multiple databases (SQL Server)
• Changing default schema at runtime

An AI agent skill ships with the repository (under skills/thinktecture-entityframeworkcore) to teach AI coding agents how to consume these packages. Install it with the skills CLI:

npx skills@latest add PawelGerr/Thinktecture.EntityFrameworkCore

The library is also indexed by Context7 (MCP) under the id /pawelgerr/thinktecture.entityframeworkcore. See AI Coding Assistants for details.
