ReferenceCollectionBuilder.IsConstrained(Boolean) Method

Definition

Configures whether the relationship is constrained (backed by a guarantee that a matching principal key exists for every set foreign key value). When false, no database foreign key constraint is created and queries treat the relationship as optional (the principal is not assumed to exist), even when the foreign key properties are non-nullable. This does not affect change tracking. See IsConstrained.
