EF6 wraps every single stored procedure call in its own transaction. How to prevent this?

Question

Profiled with SQL Server Profiler: EF 6 wraps every single stored procedure call with BEGIN TRAN and COMMIT TRAN.

Is not it a breaking cha

Answer 1

In EF 6.1.2, a flag controls the behavior. Setting EnsureTransactionsForFunctionsAndCommands to false will affect SPs that have been imported into an entity (these call ExecuteFunction() internally).

 using (SomeEf6Context ctx = NewContext())
 {
     ctx.Configuration.EnsureTransactionsForFunctionsAndCommands = false;
     // Call an imported SP
 }      

The setting will not affect any SaveChanges() calls.
