EF Core Database Provider

[Odonno]

• Create a packageable C# library named SurrealDb.EntityFrameworkCore.SurrealDb
• Create a test project named SurrealDb.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests
• Create an example project named SurrealDb.Examples.EntityFrameworkCore
• Update documentation
  • Readme file
  • Official documentation website

Here is an interesting article on how to write an EF Core Provider: https://blog.oneunicorn.com/2016/11/11/so-you-want-to-write-an-ef-core-provider/ Not sure if this still work but it can be a good starting point.

HI Simon.

No, I don't think so. You can work on it. Feel free to ask any question.

dotnet/EntityFramework.Docs#681 - ongoing discussion around DbProviders

I have had a look into this, and got some scaffolding going but the work that needs to be done is not trivial. I might try my hand at helping on some smaller bits of work first

Yes, implementing EF Core is not a simple task. I created a new issue #61 that can be a nice-to-have feature and can be a first step before having a full EF Core implementation.

Yeah that looks like a good place to start
