Is BulkSaveChanges creating a savepoint?

[buthomas]

According to EF Core's documentation a savepoint is automatically created in case a transaction exists when calling SaveChanges. In case of failure EF then automatically rolls the transaction back to that savepoint.

Does BulkSaveChanges also automatically creates such a savepoint if a transaction exists and is the transaction automatically rolled back to that savepoint in case of an exception?

Thanks for your help!

Hello @buthomas,

We currently do not support savepoints in the same way EF Core’s SaveChanges handles them internally when a transaction is already in progress.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention — we weren’t aware of this behavior, so we’ll investigate whether we can align our implementation with SaveChanges.

Best regards,

Jon

Hello @buthomas,

After reviewing this request, we are currently working on adding support for EF Core 10.

Would it be fine with you if we add this only to EF Core 10, since it involves a kind of breaking change?

Best Regards,

Hi @JonathanMagnan

Thanks for your responses.

Changing this with EF Core 10 is fine for us. We made some changes on our side so that we do not rely on the automatic revert to savepoints anymore.
