With the release of security update KB5058722 (SQL Server 2019 CU32) on July 8, 2025, some administrators and developers reported encountering the error "object not found" when accessing objects outside the default `dbo` schema. This post explains the root cause of this issue, why it occurs after the update, and how to address it.
In the realm of data access, the choice between Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs) like Entity Framework (EF) Core and direct SQL approaches like Dapper can significantly impact application performance. This post delves into the nuances of each and explore a comparative analysis using .NET code examples.
Recently I chose to develop a quick batch solution, for working with SQL Server databases, using Powershell and the Invoke-SqlCmd cmdlet. I was faced with unexpected errors. After quick workaround on the code, I was able to get things done. However, recently I got to redo the batch resulting on a more performant solution. The key to this was the Invoke-DbaQuery Cmdlet.
As you might have read, I'm a fan of GTD. Having to develop a quick batch solution for some data copying between different SQL Server databases, I chose to use Powershell scripting and the Invoke-SqlCmd cmdlet. However I was faced with unexpected errors for something as trivial as an export/import job.
Developing a project using .NET Core and Entity Framework, using an existing database, does not come with a Model update wizard. But still, it doesn't have to be a daunting task.
