Comparative analysis of the time performance of database queries in C# language

There are many computer applications in the world that use databases to store, process, and use data. That translates into many different ways of handling these databases. It is therefore difficult to choose a solution that meets the needs of the user. This article compares three C# solutions in terms of time efficiency: the Entity Framework Core application framework, pure SQL queries, and parameterized Prepared Statement queries. The results obtained in the course of the research has shown that the fastest solution is the use of non-parameterised SQL queries. The use of Entity Framework Core is the slowest of the three tested solutions.
