Does your book talk about security? When building DALs based on stored procedures we typically restrict the connection identity to have execute permission on the stored procs. No select or anything else anywhere in the db. It seems the EF identity must have liberal rights.
Hi Bob. Code First doesn’t support direct stored proc mappings; you can only use sprocs as method calls. That said, we don’t discuss security explicitly in the Code First book, but the general EF guidance is the same: msdn.microsoft.com/…/cc716760.aspx
I am struggling with mapping relationship to child objects, please help?

I’m a beginner and just started learning EF.
Do I need to start with the Programming Entity Framework book or could I just jump directly to the Code First + DBContext books?
I have the same question in regards of the Pluralsight courses.
Thanks
it’s getting a little complicated. start with the EF 4.1 courses on pluralsight. THe two new books will give you more depth of the features. The big book will giveyou insight into application building, performance, etc. except it uses objectcontext.
