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
