Z.EntityFramework.Plus.EFCore - Official behavior on DataAnnotations ?

[jsparent]

Description

We are using the commercial version of Z.EntityFramework.Plus.EFCore and using a lot of

• BulkInsertAsync()
• BulkUpdateAsync()
• BulkDeleteAsync()
• BulkSynchronizeAsync()

We were under the impression that ZEntity was validating each model and their DataAnnotation before saving, like EF Core does. We had an edge case where the database column would allow NULL (for legacy purpose) but the EF Model was declared as

  [Required] // Here we want to simulate a DB that allows null but marked as required on the model
  public int? NullableInt { get; set; }

To our surprise, the Bulk methods would allow invalid values (null) to reach the database. I just want to validate your official position regarding DataAnnotations. Should we validate each object manually before calling Bulk() methods or is that something that should be handled by ZEntity Bulk() methods ?

Thanks for your time!
