Bump linq2db from 6.0.0-preview.3 to 6.0.0-rc.3

[dependabot]

Updated linq2db from 6.0.0-preview.3 to 6.0.0-rc.3.

Release notes

Sourced from linq2db's releases.

6.0.0-rc.3

Except fixes for reported issues and regressions, this release contains:

• migration from ClickHouse.Client provider to it's fork, ClickHouse.Driver
• important changes to default configuration of scalar types. If you use custom-defined scalar types in your mappings, please check those notes
• [Oracle] correct bool mapping for CreateTable to use NUMBER(1) instead of CHAR(1) by default. This should affect only default behavior for table creation, as everywhere else we already used nuber mapping.

6.0.0-rc.1

Finally we have a new version of Linq To DB almost done.

Bases on amount and severity of reports for this release we will decide later wether we need another RC before final release.

Main changes in this (RC1) release:

• [breaking] we reorganized Linq To DB namespaces into two categories: general use public APIs in LinqToDB.* and internal APIs (mostly intended for external provider development or advanced functionality) in LinqToDB.Internal.* namespaces. If you cannot find some types/methods - check their new location in source or ask here
• [breaking] async IEnumerable extensions were moved from LinqToDB namespace to LinqToDB.Async to simplify resolve of naming conflicts for users who use other libraries with same extensions
• [breaking] drop .NET 6 and EF.Core 6 support
• a lof of work were done to improve translation of predicates (especially complex) to SQL:
  • complex predicate expressions that could fail translate before to SQL for all or for specific databases now should work
  • a lot of new optimizations implemented to simplify predicates
  • fixed support for mappings with IsPredicate=true option, done using Sql.FunctionAttribute or Sql.ExtensionAttribute attributes
  • fixed a lot of issues in predicate generation, including fixes to nullability tracking for nested predicates
• multiple improvemens in JOINs generation:
  • automatically promote LEFT joins to INNER when query filters effectively already remove empty records
  • improve nullability tracking for LEFT joins
• [all databases] fix/add translations of string.PadLeft, string.Length and Guid.ToString() members
• add Sql.Parameter(x) and Sql.Constant(x) helpers to explicitly specify value translation type (as parameter or as literal) for specific value
• FromSqlScalar API now expects user to use value alias for column name. It will be generated automatically for databases, which support column aliases specification in subquery alias clause. For other databases it should be specified by user in SQL.
• added UseOptions API on data context to temporary change context settings
• added initial support for new SQL dialects: SQL Server 2025 and PostgreSQL 18
• [EF.Core] import enum mappings for PostgreSQL from EF.Core model
• [RemoteContext] released new remote context transports: HttpClient (server, client) and Signal/R (server, client)
• a lot of other bugfixes and improvements

6.0.0-preview.4

Yet another preview release before upcoming release candidate.

Alongside with fixes to multiple bugs and regrssions from previous previews it contains following changes:

• Obsoletion of excess constructors on DataConnection and DataContext types that could be replaced with constructor, accepting DataOptions configuration object
• experimental support for new SQL Server JSON data type type
• changes to default precision and scale mappings for decimal type from DECIMAL to DECIMAL(x, 10) for many database providers. This mostly affects which data type is used by CreateTable APIs by default
• added AllowMultiple=true option to some mapping attributes, which didn't had it for some unknown reason
• [SAP HANA] added support for Sap.Data.Hana.Net.* providers
• fixed nuget generation issue for linq2db.EntityFrameworkCore packages, that resulted in incorrect package content for previous (Preview 3) release for EF 8 and 9
