Provider-facing changes in EF Core 11 (EF11)

This page documents noteworthy changes in EF Core 11 which may affect EF providers; none of these should affect end-users of EF - this page is only meant for EF provider maintainers. The list is maintained on a best-effort basis, some changes may be missing.

Changes

• Collation names are now quoted in SQL, like column and table names (see #37462). If your database doesn't support collation name quoting, override QuerySqlGenerator.VisitSql() and MigrationsSqlGenerator.ColumnDefinition() to revert to the previous behavior, but it's recommended to implement some sort of restricted character validation.

Test changes

• The inheritance specification tests have been reorganized into a folder of their own (PR).
