Content of these projects:
-----------------------------------
Entity Framework Core 8.0 supports 3 workflows:
1. Code First. For details, refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-in/ef/core/get-started/?tabs=visual-studio.
2. Code First Migrations. For details, refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-in/ef/core/managing-schemas/migrations/?tabs=vs.
3. Scaffolding. For details, refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-in/ef/core/managing-schemas/scaffolding?tabs=dotnet-core-cli.
   Note: Scaffolding is a process for generating model and context classes based on database schema. 
         This mostly requires running commands in Package Manager Console or in .NET Command-line Interface. 
         Hence, no sample is added for this workflow.
