Pull Request Overview

This PR extends EF Core to support translating primitive collections into multiple SQL parameters instead of a single parameter or JSON, driven by a new ParameterizedCollectionTranslationMode.

  • Changed parameter value storage and method signatures from IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object?> to mutable Dictionary<string, object?>.
  • Introduced ParameterizedCollectionTranslationMode enum and threaded it through SQL processors, visitors, and the DbContext options builder.
  • Updated SQL generation in SQLite for multi-row VALUES (wrapping in a sub-SELECT) and enhanced JSON/OPENJSON logic for SQL Server.

  • [nitpick] This VisitExtension override now handles multiple translation modes with nested logic; consider extracting each mode case into its own helper method to improve readability and reduce method complexity.

  • New builder option for expanded parameters was added; ensure there are unit or integration tests covering this mode to verify correct SQL translation.

Consider changing the default handling of parameterized collections (back to constantization, RECOMPILE, inline collection of parameters...)
