Issue #9627 talked about the different possible reasons for having columns with default constraints. We discussed this some more and decided to look at adding more separation of these concepts in the 3.0 timeframe. This would make it easier to specify that a column has a default constraint without that meaning that EF should use a sentinel value to decide whether or not to include a value for the column.

Notes from planning:

  • We can probably do this without it being a breaking change, possibly with new API
  • This is mostly a reverse engineering issue, for which we have already mitigated the CLR default case.
  • We have other ideas around reverse engineering patterns that could further mitigate.
    Therefore. moving to Backlog for now.

Fixes #701

Part of #13224, #15070, #13613

This PR contains the underlying model and change tracking changes needed to support sentinel values. Future PRs will add model building API surface and setting the sentinel automatically based on the database default.

There is a breaking change here: explicitly setting the value of a property with a temporary value no longer automatically makes the value non temporary.
