In .NET8/EF8, Entity Framework may produce SQL queries that are incompatible with older SQL servers, leading to syntax errors due to mismatch in compatibility levels.
The primary issue arises when the Database Compatibility level is set at 120, while Entity Framework operates at a level of 160, causing generated SQL to be unrecognized.
To resolve errors stemming from this incompatibility, developers can either adjust the compatibility level on SQL Server or modify it within EF dynamically, ensuring synchronization.
It's critical for developers to verify the compatibility levels of both the database and Entity Framework to prevent syntax errors and maintain seamless database interactions.
