A simple logging interface for Entity Framework events. Used by LogTo(Action<string>, LogLevel, DbContextLoggerOptions?)

public interface IDbContextLogger

Remarks

The service lifetime is Scoped. This means that each DbContext instance will use its own instance of this service. The implementation may depend on other services registered with any lifetime. The implementation does not need to be thread-safe.

See EF Core simple logging for more information and examples.
