Question 1

How to use NReco.Data with SQLite in a .NET Core application?

Accepted Answer

Initialize DbFactory with SqliteFactory.Instance and set LastInsertIdSelectText to 'SELECT last_insert_rowid()'. Then, use DbDataAdapter for CRUD operations, as demonstrated in the README's SqliteDemo examples.

Question 2

NReco.Data vs Dapper: which is better for performance-critical applications?

Accepted Answer

Both offer similar high performance, but NReco.Data adds dynamic query building and database independence, while Dapper is simpler if you prefer writing raw SQL. Choose based on whether you need abstraction over SQL.

Question 3

Can NReco.Data handle complex joins and subqueries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through its Query structure, you can build joins and subqueries dynamically, though complex scenarios might require manual Query composition or fallback to raw SQL for finer control.

Question 4

How to map stored procedure results to POCO models in NReco.Data?

Accepted Answer

Use DataReaderResult to read data from stored procedures and map it to models, as the README notes support for multiple record sets, but you'll need to handle parameter passing manually.

Question 5

What are the trade-offs of using RecordSet over DataTable?

Accepted Answer

RecordSet is a lightweight, efficient replacement with similar API, but it may lack some DataTable features like built-in XML serialization, so assess based on your in-memory data handling needs.

Question 6

Is NReco.Data compatible with dependency injection in ASP.NET Core?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can register DbFactory and DbDataAdapter as services, as shown in the DB WebApi example, though it requires manual configuration compared to EF Core's built-in DI support.
