Options to connect legacy .NET app using System.Data.SqlClient and Entity Framework 6 to a SQL Database in Fabric? 

We hope to avoid refactoring to upgrade to Microsoft.Data.Sqlclient is  EF Core 3.0+ (.NET Core/.NET 5+) or higher for Fabric.

We’ve tried https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/ef/ef6/what-is-new/microsoft-ef6-sqlserver but still raises errors.

Internal reference: ITK-261

Thanks,

Berkley
