If you are inserting/deleting/updating (these are considered by EF as 'non-query'), and can be called by our code using

MyDbContext.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(insert into Table (Col1,Col2) values (1,2));

But if are doing select query for a raw SQL statement, then use

MyDbContext.DbSet.SqlQuery(select * from table_name).ToList();

or

MyDbContext.Database.SqlQuery(select * from table_name).ToList();

()

The SqlQuery() function, in EF, for strange reasons, throw exception Insert/delete/update operation. (The exception thrown is "A member of the type, does not have a corresponding column in the data reader with the same name.") But it has actually performed operation if you open your Sql Management Studio and check for the entries.
