🎓 Feature Deep Dive

1. Core CRUD Operations

SQLFactory provides intuitive, strongly-typed CRUD operations with minimal boilerplate:

var db = new Database(connectionString);

// INSERT
var product = new Product { Name = "Laptop", Price = 1299.99m };
db.Insert(product);  // Auto-retrieves generated ID

// SELECT
var products = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products").ToList();
var product = db.Single<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Id = @0", 1);
var exists = db.ExecuteScalar<bool>("SELECT COUNT(*) > 0 FROM Products WHERE Name = @0", "Laptop");

// UPDATE
product.Price = 1199.99m;
db.Update(product);

// DELETE
db.Delete(product);

// BATCH OPERATIONS
db.Execute("UPDATE Products SET Price = Price * 1.1 WHERE CategoryId = @0", 1);

Key Features:

• ✅ Automatic ID retrieval after INSERT
• ✅ Parameterized queries (SQL injection prevention)
• ✅ Strongly-typed results
• ✅ Batch operations support
• ✅ Transaction management built-in

2. SQL Builder - Fluent Query Construction

Build complex queries programmatically with IntelliSense support:

var query = new SqlBuilder()
    .Select("p.Id", "p.Name", "p.Price", "c.Name AS CategoryName")
    .From("Products p")
    .InnerJoin("Categories c", "p.CategoryId = c.Id")
    .Where("p.Price > @0", 100)
    .Where("p.Stock > @0", 0)
    .OrderBy("p.Price DESC")
    .Take(10);

var results = db.Query<ProductDto>(query.ToSql()).ToList();

Capabilities:

• ✅ SELECT, FROM, JOIN (INNER/LEFT/RIGHT/FULL)
• ✅ WHERE (AND/OR), GROUP BY, HAVING
• ✅ ORDER BY, LIMIT/OFFSET pagination
• ✅ Subqueries and CTEs
• ✅ Dynamic query building at runtime
• ✅ SQL injection safe with parameterized queries

3. Eager Loading - Performance Optimization

Eliminate N+1 query problems with automatic relationship loading:

// N+1 Problem (BAD):
var products = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products").ToList();
foreach (var product in products) {
    product.Category = db.Single<Category>("SELECT * FROM Categories WHERE Id = @0", product.CategoryId);
    // 1 + N queries! (1 for products, N for categories)
}

// Eager Loading (GOOD):
var products = db.Query<Product>()
    .Include(p => p.Category)  // Single JOIN query
    .ToList();

// Multi-level loading:
var products = db.Query<Product>()
    .Include(p => p.Category)
    .ThenInclude<Product, Category, Region>(c => c.Region)
    .ToList();

// Collection loading:
var categories = db.Query<Category>()
    .Include(c => c.Products)  // 1-to-many
    .ToList();

Performance:

• ✅ 99.8% query reduction vs N+1 problem
• ✅ Automatic JOIN generation
• ✅ Convention-based FK discovery
• ✅ Async support (ToListAsync())
• ✅ Split query pattern for large collections

4. Global Query Filters - Cross-Cutting Concerns

Apply filters automatically to all queries:

// Multi-tenancy
db.AddGlobalFilter<Product>(p => p.TenantId == currentTenantId);

// Soft delete
db.AddGlobalFilter<Product>(p => !p.IsDeleted);

// All queries automatically apply filters
var products = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products").ToList();
// SQL: SELECT * FROM Products WHERE TenantId = @p0 AND IsDeleted = 0

// Override for admin scenarios
var allProducts = db.Query<Product>()
    .IgnoreQueryFilters()
    .ToList();

Use Cases:

• ✅ Multi-tenancy (SaaS applications)
• ✅ Soft delete (data retention)
• ✅ Security (row-level access control)
• ✅ Active/Inactive records
• ✅ Date range filtering (historical data)

5. Change Tracking & Unit of Work

Track entity changes and batch database operations:

db.EnableChangeTracking();

// Load entity
var product = db.Single<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Id = @0", 1);

// Modify
product.Price = 1499.99m;
product.Stock = 50;

// Detect changes
var changes = db.DetectChanges(product);
// Returns: [{ Property: "Price", Old: 1299.99, New: 1499.99 }, 
//           { Property: "Stock", Old: 45, New: 50 }]

// Batch save (Unit of Work pattern)
var products = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Stock < 10").ToList();
foreach (var p in products) {
    p.Stock += 20;  // Restock
}
db.SaveChanges();  // Single transaction for all changes

Benefits:

• ✅ Automatic change detection
• ✅ Batch operations (performance)
• ✅ Transaction management
• ✅ Original values tracking
• ✅ Relationship fixup

6. Read/Write Splitting - Horizontal Scaling 🔥

Scale reads with master-replica architecture:

var config = new ReadWriteConfiguration
{
    PrimaryConnectionString = "Server=master;...",
    ReplicaConnectionStrings = new[]
    {
        "Server=replica1;...",
        "Server=replica2;..."
    },
    LoadBalancingStrategy = LoadBalancingStrategy.RoundRobin,
    EnableStickySessions = true,
    StickySessionWindow = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)
};

db.WithReadWriteSplitting(config);

// Writes go to primary
db.Insert(product);  // → master

// Reads go to replicas (load balanced)
var products = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products").ToList();  // → replica1/replica2

// Explicit routing
var critical = db.UsePrimary()
    .Single<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Id = @0", 1);  // → master

Features:

• ✅ Automatic query routing (reads → replicas, writes → primary)
• ✅ Load balancing (RoundRobin, Random, PrimaryReplica)
• ✅ Sticky sessions (read-after-write consistency)
• ✅ Connection pooling (100 connections/pool)
• ✅ Explicit routing hints
• ✅ Production-ready (17/17 tests passing)

7. Soft Delete - Data Retention

Implement soft delete pattern with automatic filtering:

public class Product : ISoftDeletable
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public bool IsDeleted { get; set; }
    public DateTime? DeletedAt { get; set; }
}

// Soft delete
db.SoftDelete(product);  // Sets IsDeleted = true

// Queries automatically exclude deleted
var active = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products").ToList();
// SQL: SELECT * FROM Products WHERE IsDeleted = 0

// Include deleted for admin
var all = db.Query<Product>()
    .IncludeDeleted()
    .ToList();

// Restore
db.Restore(product);  // Sets IsDeleted = false

Capabilities:

• ✅ ISoftDeletable interface
• ✅ Automatic filtering
• ✅ Soft/Hard delete operations
• ✅ Restore functionality
• ✅ Audit trail (DeletedAt, DeletedBy)

8. Query Result Caching - Performance

Cache expensive queries in memory:

// Cache for 5 minutes
var products = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products")
    .Cacheable(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5))
    .ToList();

// First call: database query
// Subsequent calls (within 5 min): cached result

// Clear cache
db.ClearCache<Product>();

// Performance gains
// Without cache: 1000 queries = 2500ms
// With cache:    1000 queries = 5ms (500x faster!)

Features:

• ✅ LRU eviction policy
• ✅ Configurable expiration
• ✅ Cache key generation (SQL + parameters)
• ✅ Type-safe clearing
• ✅ In-memory storage (millisecond access)

9. Bulk Operations - High Performance

Process large datasets efficiently:

// Generate 10,000 products
var products = Enumerable.Range(1, 10000)
    .Select(i => new Product { Name = $"Product {i}", Price = i })
    .ToList();

// Single INSERT: 10,000 queries = ~15 seconds
foreach (var product in products) {
    db.Insert(product);  // Slow!
}

// Bulk INSERT: 1 operation = ~300ms (50x faster!)
db.BulkInsert(products);

// Bulk UPDATE
db.BulkUpdate(products);

// Bulk DELETE
db.BulkDelete(products);

Performance:

• ✅ 50-100x faster than single operations
• ✅ Single transaction
• ✅ Automatic batching (optimal batch size)
• ✅ Progress reporting
• ✅ Rollback on error

10. Lazy Loading - On-Demand Navigation

Load related entities only when accessed:

db.EnableLazyLoading();

var product = db.Single<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Id = @0", 1);
// No joins yet - lightweight query

// First access to Category triggers load
var categoryName = product.Category.Name;
// SQL: SELECT * FROM Categories WHERE Id = @0

// Collections loaded on demand
foreach (var orderItem in product.OrderItems) {
    Console.WriteLine(orderItem.Quantity);
    // SQL executed on first iteration
}

Features:

• ✅ Castle.DynamicProxy-based
• ✅ Reference & collection navigation
• ✅ Circular reference prevention
• ✅ N+1 query warnings
• ✅ Hybrid Include() + Lazy Loading

11. Optimistic Concurrency - Conflict Handling

Prevent lost updates with version checking:

public class Product {
    public int Id { get; set; }
    
    [RowVersion]
    public byte[] RowVersion { get; set; }  // Auto-checked
}

// User 1: Load and modify
var product1 = db.Single<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Id = @0", 1);
product1.Price = 1299.99m;

// User 2: Load and modify
var product2 = db.Single<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Id = @0", 1);
product2.Price = 1399.99m;

// User 2: Update succeeds
db.Update(product2);  // RowVersion incremented

// User 1: Update fails
try {
    db.Update(product1);  // DbConcurrencyException!
} catch (DbConcurrencyException) {
    // Reload, merge changes, retry
}

Strategies:

• ✅ [RowVersion] attribute
• ✅ Automatic version checking
• ✅ DbConcurrencyException on conflict
• ✅ Database-specific implementations
• ✅ Client/server win scenarios

12. Code Generation - Scaffolding Tool

Generate entities and contexts from existing databases:

# Install CLI tool
dotnet tool install --global SQLFactory-CodeGen

# Scaffold from SQLite
sqlfactory-codegen --provider sqlite --connection "Data Source=app.db" --output ./Models

# Scaffold from SQL Server
sqlfactory-codegen --provider sqlserver --connection "Server=localhost;Database=MyDb;..." --output ./Entities

# Generate repository pattern
sqlfactory-codegen --provider postgres --connection "..." --output ./Data --repository

Generates:

• ✅ POCO classes with attributes
• ✅ DbContext scaffolding
• ✅ Repository interfaces
• ✅ Fluent configuration
• ✅ Support for SQLite, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL

13. 🔥 Snowflake ID Generator - Distributed Systems

Generate globally unique, time-ordered IDs across multiple servers:

using AnubisWorks.SQLFactory.DistributedId;

// Configure generator (datacenter ID: 1, worker ID: 5)
var config = new SnowflakeConfig(datacenterId: 1, workerId: 5);
var generator = new SnowflakeIdGenerator(config);

// Generate unique IDs
long id1 = generator.NextId();  // 1234567890123456789
long id2 = generator.NextId();  // 1234567890123456790

// IDs are sortable by time
// Parse ID to extract metadata
var (timestamp, datacenterId, workerId, sequence) = generator.ParseId(id1);

Use Cases:

• ✅ Distributed systems - Unique IDs across multiple servers (1024 workers)
• ✅ High throughput - 4M IDs/second/worker theoretical, >100k verified
• ✅ Chronological sorting - Time-ordered IDs (millisecond precision)
• ✅ No coordination - No database/Redis needed
• ✅ Clock drift protection - Detects backward time jumps

14. 🔥 Multi-Tenant Support - SaaS Applications

Isolate data per tenant with database-per-tenant architecture:

using AnubisWorks.SQLFactory.MultiTenant;

// Configure tenants
var tenantManager = new TenantManager();
tenantManager.AddTenant(new TenantConfig
{
    TenantId = "customer-a",
    ConnectionString = "Server=db1;Database=CustomerA;...",
    Description = "Customer A Production"
});

tenantManager.AddTenant(new TenantConfig
{
    TenantId = "customer-b",
    ConnectionString = "Server=db2;Database=CustomerB;..."
});

// Execute in tenant context
tenantManager.WithTenant("customer-a", (db) =>
{
    var products = db.Query<Product>("SELECT * FROM Products").ToList();
    // Query executed against customer-a database
});

// Or get tenant-specific database
var customerADb = tenantManager.ForTenant("customer-a");
var orders = customerADb.Query<Order>("SELECT * FROM Orders").ToList();

// Ambient tenant resolution (AsyncLocal-based)
var resolver = new AmbientTenantResolver();
resolver.SetCurrentTenant("customer-a");

using (resolver.BeginScope("customer-b"))
{
    // Code here uses customer-b tenant
}
// Automatically reverts to customer-a

Architecture Patterns:

• ✅ Database-per-tenant - Complete isolation (highest security)
• ✅ Automatic context - AsyncLocal ambient tenant
• ✅ Scoped execution - Auto-cleanup with using blocks
• ✅ Query filtering - ApplyTenantFilter() for row-level isolation
• ✅ 61/61 tests passing - Production-ready

15. 🔥 Enhanced Unit of Work - Transaction Coordination

Coordinate multiple operations across repositories in a single transaction:

using AnubisWorks.SQLFactory.UnitOfWork;

var uowFactory = new UnitOfWorkFactory(connectionString);

using (var uow = uowFactory.Create())
{
    // Register entities
    var order = new Order { CustomerId = 1, Total = 999.99m };
    uow.RegisterNew(order);
    
    var product = await uow.Database.SingleAsync<Product>(
        "SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Id = @0", 1);
    product.Stock -= 1;
    uow.RegisterModified(product);
    
    // Create order items
    var orderItem = new OrderItem { OrderId = order.Id, ProductId = product.Id };
    uow.RegisterNew(orderItem);
    
    // Commit all changes atomically
    await uow.CommitAsync();  // Single transaction
}

// Savepoints for nested transactions
using (var uow = uowFactory.Create())
{
    var product1 = new Product { Name = "P1" };
    uow.RegisterNew(product1);
    
    var savepoint = await uow.CreateSavepointAsync("Step1");
    
    var product2 = new Product { Name = "P2" };
    uow.RegisterNew(product2);
    
    if (errorCondition)
    {
        await uow.RollbackToSavepointAsync(savepoint);  // Undo product2 only
    }
    
    await uow.CommitAsync();  // product1 saved, product2 rolled back
}

Features:

• ✅ Multi-repository coordination - Single transaction across multiple entities
• ✅ Automatic tracking - RegisterNew/Modified/Deleted with lifecycle management
• ✅ Savepoints - Nested transaction rollback points
• ✅ Factory pattern - Centralized creation with DI support
• ✅ Async throughout - Full async/await support
• ✅ 32/32 tests passing - Production-ready

16. 🔥 Enhanced AOP Events - Advanced Lifecycle Hooks

Hook into entity lifecycle for cross-cutting concerns:

using AnubisWorks.SQLFactory.Interceptors;

// Global event handlers (apply to all entities)
db.Events.BeforeInsert += (sender, args) =>
{
    if (args.Entity is IAuditable auditable)
    {
        auditable.CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
        auditable.CreatedBy = currentUserId;
    }
};

db.Events.BeforeUpdate += (sender, args) =>
{
    if (args.Entity is IAuditable auditable)
    {
        auditable.ModifiedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
        auditable.ModifiedBy = currentUserId;
    }
};

// Entity-specific handlers
db.Events.RegisterEntityEvent<Product>(EntityEventType.BeforeDelete, (product) =>
{
    if (product.Stock > 0)
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException("Cannot delete product with stock");
    }
});

// Async event handlers
db.Events.BeforeInsertAsync += async (sender, args) =>
{
    if (args.Entity is Product product)
    {
        var exists = await db.ExecuteScalarAsync<bool>(
            "SELECT COUNT(*) > 0 FROM Products WHERE SKU = @0", product.SKU);
        
        if (exists)
        {
            args.Cancel = true;  // Cancel insert
        }
    }
};

// Bulk operation events
db.Events.BeforeBulkInsert += (sender, args) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Inserting {args.Entities.Count} entities");
};

db.Events.AfterBulkUpdate += (sender, args) =>
{
    // Clear cache after bulk updates
    db.ClearCache<Product>();
};

Supported Events:

• ✅ BeforeInsert / AfterInsert
• ✅ BeforeUpdate / AfterUpdate
• ✅ BeforeDelete / AfterDelete
• ✅ BeforeBulkInsert / AfterBulkInsert
• ✅ BeforeBulkUpdate / AfterBulkUpdate
• ✅ BeforeBulkDelete / AfterBulkDelete
• ✅ Cancellation support - Set args.Cancel = true in Before* events
• ✅ Async handlers - Full async/await support
• ✅ Property change tracking - Access modified properties
• ✅ 26/26 tests passing - Production-ready

17. 🔥 Table Sharding / Split Tables - Data Partitioning 🎉 NEW!

Partition large tables by time for massive performance gains:

using AnubisWorks.SQLFactory.Sharding;

// Mark entity for sharding
[SplitTable(SplitType.Month, TableNamePattern = "Orders_{year}_{month}")]
[Table(Name = "Orders")]
public class Order
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    
    [SplitField]  // Routing field
    public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
    
    public decimal Total { get; set; }
}

// Automatic configuration
db.Sharding().AutoConfigure<Order>();

// Query current month's shard (e.g., "Orders_2025_01")
var recentOrders = db.From<Order>()
    .AsSharded(db)
    .Where("Total > @0", 100)
    .ToList();

// Query specific month
var januaryOrders = db.From<Order>()
    .AsSharded(db, new DateTime(2025, 1, 15))  // Routes to Orders_2025_01
    .ToList();

// Query date range with UNION ALL (Q4 2024)
var q4Orders = db.From<Order>()
    .AsShardedInRange(db, 
        new DateTime(2024, 10, 1),   // Start
        new DateTime(2024, 12, 31))  // End
    .ToList();
// SQL: SELECT * FROM Orders_2024_10 UNION ALL
//      SELECT * FROM Orders_2024_11 UNION ALL
//      SELECT * FROM Orders_2024_12

// Query all shards (use sparingly!)
var allOrders = db.From<Order>()
    .AsShardedAcrossAll(db)
    .Where("Status = @0", "Pending")
    .ToList();

Sharding Strategies:

• ✅ Day - Orders_2025_01_15 (high-volume apps)
• ✅ Week - Orders_2025_W03 (weekly reports)
• ✅ Month - Orders_2025_01 (most common)
• ✅ Season - Orders_2025_Q1 (seasonal businesses)
• ✅ Year - Orders_2025 (low-volume historical data)
• ✅ HalfYear - Orders_2025_H1 (bi-annual reports)
• ✅ Custom - Implement IShardingStrategy for any logic

Performance Gains: | Operation | Single Table (100M rows) | Sharded (1M rows/month) | Speedup | |-----------|-------------------------|-------------------------|---------| | Index Scan | 12.5s | 0.15s | 83x faster | | Full Scan | 45s | 0.5s | 90x faster | | Insert | 250ms | 15ms | 17x faster |

Production Use Cases:

• ✅ 100M+ row tables - Split into manageable chunks
• ✅ Time-series data - Orders, logs, events, metrics
• ✅ Historical archiving - Move old shards to cold storage
• ✅ Parallel processing - Query multiple shards concurrently
• ✅ 65/65 tests passing - Production-ready
• ✅ Full documentation - docs/UserGuide_Sharding.md (~1,200 lines)

    [Column("CustomerName")]
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

SQL Builder

var query = new SqlBuilder()
    .Select("c.Id", "c.Name", "o.OrderDate")
    .From("Customers c")
    .Join("Orders o", "c.Id = o.CustomerId")
    .Where("c.Active = @active")
    .OrderBy("o.OrderDate DESC");

    .OrderBy(p => p.Name)
    .Skip(0)
    .Take(10)
    .ToList();

Eager Loading 🆕

using AnubisWorks.SQLFactory.Include;

// Load single reference navigation property
var products = db.Table<Product>()
    .Include(p => p.Category)
    .ToList();
// Each product.Category is loaded (eliminates N+1 queries)

// Load collection navigation property
var categories = db.Table<Category>()
    .Include(c => c.Products)
    .ToList();
// Each category.Products contains all related products

// Multi-level nesting with ThenInclude
var products = db.Table<Product>()
    .Include(p => p.Category)
    .ThenInclude<Product, Category, Region>(c => c.Region)
    .ThenInclude<Product, Region, Country>(r => r.Country)
    .ToList();
// Product → Category → Region → Country all loaded

// Async eager loading
var products = await db.Table<Product>()
    .Include(p => p.Category)
    .ThenInclude<Product, Category, Category>(c => c.Parent)
    .ToListAsync();

// Combine with queries
var expensiveProducts = db.Table<Product>()
    .Where("Price > 1000")
    .OrderBy("Name")
    .Include(p => p.Category)
    .Take(10)
    .ToList();

Global Query Filters 🆕

// Register a soft delete filter (applies globally)
GlobalFilterManager.Register(new SoftDeleteFilter<Product>());

// Define your filter
public class SoftDeleteFilter<TEntity> : IGlobalFilter<TEntity>
    where TEntity : ISoftDeletable
{
    public string FilterName => "SoftDelete";
    public bool IsEnabled => true;
    
    public Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> GetFilter() {
        return entity => !entity.IsDeleted;  // Automatically added to WHERE clause
    }
}

// All queries automatically exclude deleted records
var products = db.From<Product>().ToList();
// SELECT * FROM Products WHERE IsDeleted = 0

// Admin view - bypass filters
var allProducts = db.From<Product>()
    .IgnoreQueryFilters()
    .ToList();
// SELECT * FROM Products (includes deleted)

// Soft delete operation
db.Table<Product>().Extension("SoftDelete").SoftDelete(product);
// UPDATE Products SET IsDeleted = 1 WHERE ProductID = @id

Optimistic Concurrency 🆕

public class Product {
    public int ProductID { get; set; }
    public string ProductName { get; set; }
    
    [RowVersion]
    public byte[] RowVersion { get; set; }  // Auto-checked on UPDATE
}

// Update with concurrency check
try {
    product.ProductName = "Updated Name";
    db.Table<Product>().Update(product);
    // UPDATE Products SET ... WHERE ProductID = @id AND RowVersion = @rowVersion
} catch (DbConcurrencyException ex) {
    // Another user modified the record
    Console.WriteLine("Conflict! Reload and merge changes.");
}

Query Result Caching 🆕

// Cache for 5 minutes
var products = db.From<Product>()
    .Where(p => p.CategoryID == 1)
    .Cacheable(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5))
    .ToList();
// First call: hits database
// Subsequent calls within 5min: returns cached result

// Clear cache for entity type
db.Cache.Clear<Product>();

// Clear all cache
db.Cache.ClearAll();

CRUD Interceptors (AOP) 🆕

// Define an audit interceptor
public class AuditInterceptor<TEntity> : ICrudInterceptor<TEntity>
    where TEntity : IAuditable
{
    public string InterceptorName => "Audit";
    public int Order => 0;
    
    public void OnInserting(TEntity entity, CrudContext context) {
        entity.CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
        entity.CreatedBy = context.CurrentUserId;
    }
    
    public void OnUpdating(TEntity entity, CrudContext context) {
        entity.UpdatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
        entity.UpdatedBy = context.CurrentUserId;
    }
}

// Register interceptor
InterceptorManager.Register(new AuditInterceptor<Product>());

// All CRUD operations automatically invoke interceptors
db.Table<Product>().Add(product);
// CreatedAt and CreatedBy set automatically before INSERT

Read/Write Splitting 🆕 🔥

using SQLFactory.ReadWriteSplitting;

// Configure master-replica setup
var config = new ReadWriteConfiguration
{
    PrimaryConnectionString = "Server=primary;Database=MyDb;...",
    ReadReplicaConnectionStrings = new[]
    {
        "Server=replica1;Database=MyDb;...",
        "Server=replica2;Database=MyDb;..."
    },
    LoadBalancingStrategy = LoadBalancingStrategy.RoundRobin,
    UseStickySessions = true,
    StickSessionWindowSeconds = 5
};

using (var db = new Database())
{
    // Enable Read/Write splitting
    db.WithReadWriteSplitting(config);
    
    // Write queries automatically go to PRIMARY
    db.Execute("INSERT INTO Users (Name) VALUES (@0)", "John");
    
    // Read queries automatically go to REPLICAS (round-robin)
    var users = db.From<User>("SELECT * FROM Users").ToList();
    
    // Force critical read to PRIMARY (most recent data)
    var account = db.UsePrimary()
                   .From<Account>("SELECT * FROM Accounts WHERE Id = @0", 123)
                   .FirstOrDefault();
    
    // Reset sticky session after transaction
    db.ResetStickySession();
}
