Is it possible to work with the output of a sql cell in a c#/f# cell?

Just learning the ropes with .Net interactive notebooks and I love it. Hopefully a quick question.

Is it possible to work with the output of a sql cell in a subsequent c# or f# cell?

We are working on this but currently, no.

An option that's currently available is to use #!connect mssql --create-dbcontext, and then use the auto-scaffolded EF DbContext from C#.

Keep an eye on #1136.

@jonsequitur - thanks for the reply, the EF DBContext method you suggest is a good a work around for the time being. I've also subscribed to 1136.

I'd like to contribute to the project, but not sure I understand the code 'under the hood' well enough yet. I know you guys are very busy but if you ever do a session to help get new contributors started let me know.

Thanks! This is a great suggestion. We can probably set something up.
