**What are exactly DbContext and DbSet in EF? [Answered]**

I was wondering if getting the DbContext is getting the entire DB and using DbSet is using the single tables. Is this correct?

There's a lot of nuance but the short answer is yes, that's a high level view of it

A Context may have as much or as little of the database as needed, and a DbSet may not represent the full table in the case of query filters/etc

Generally speaking:
- `DbContext` abstracts the database
- `DbSet` abstracts the table
