How can I call a stored procedure in EF Core on entity with query filters? - entity-framework-core

Question

We are using Query Filters in EF Core 7 to handle soft-deleted records. Unfortunately, when I call a stored procedure using .FromSql("mysproc"), it gives me the following error...
InvalidOperationException: 'FromSql' or 'SqlQuery' was called with non-composable SQL and with a query composing over it. Consider calling 'AsEnumerable' after the method to perform the composition on the client side.
This TextValues.IgnoreQueryFilters().FromSql($"MySproc {myparam}") doesn't work because FromSql() is not defined on IQueryable (the code does not compile).
This MyObjects.FromSql("MySproc").IgnoreQueryFilters() compiles, but produces the same error. I'm pretty sure that IgnoreQueryFilters() needs to be first.
The stored procedure does return data for MyObject, so I would like to use the MyObjects property, if possible.
Currently, my only idea is to add a 2nd property without a filter, but this isn't ideal. I would prefer not making an unfiltered property available.
Any other ideas?

MyObjects.FromSql("MySproc").IgnoreQueryFilters() should work.
Here's a compete example with EF Core 7.0.3
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;
using var db = new Db();
db.Database.EnsureDeleted();
db.Database.EnsureCreated();
db.Database.ExecuteSql($"create proc get_foo #n varchar(20) as select * from Foo");
var a = "a";
var c1 = db.Set<Foo>().FromSql($"exec get_foo {a}").IgnoreQueryFilters().ToList();
var c2 = db.Set<Foo>().ToList();
Console.WriteLine("Finished");
class Db : DbContext
{
protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer("Server=(LocalDb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=EfCore7Test;TrustServerCertificate=true;Integrated Security=true",
o =>
{
o.UseRelationalNulls();
})
.LogTo(m => Console.WriteLine(m), LogLevel.Information);
optionsBuilder.EnableSensitiveDataLogging();
base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
modelBuilder.Entity<Foo>().HasQueryFilter( e => e.Name == "foo");
}
}
[Table("Foo")]
public class Foo
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
outputs
