This repository contains various experiments with EntityFramework Core.

Audit trails are a very, very common requirement in software development. And if you are using SQL Server (or MariaDB) it's really easy to use a Temporal Table and track everything, that happens to your data. Just let your expensive database handle it!

Now a common example in EntityFramework Core articles is to add auditing by overriding the DbContext.SaveChanges method and add the audit information by inspecting the ChangeTracker. Some tutorials also use an SaveChangesInterceptor to add it as a cross-cutting concern.

The problem with this kind of approach to auditing is, that it doesn't work for EF Core 7 ExecuteUpdateAsync methods, that basically bypass the DbContext.SaveChangesAsync method. So this example serves as a word of caution, so you don't run into a problem late in your EntityFramework Core application.

Please feel free to make a PR to fix this issue, because I don't know a EntityFramework Core-based solution.
