## Improved translation for parameterized collection

A notoriously difficult problem with relational databases is queries that involve *parameterized collections*:

```c#
int[] ids = [1, 2, 3];
var blogs = await context.Blogs.Where(b => ids.Contains(b.Id)).ToListAsync();
```

EF 10.0 introduces a new default translation mode for parameterized collections, where each value in the collection is translated into its own scalar parameter:

```sql
SELECT [b].[Id], [b].[Name]
FROM [Blogs] AS [b]
WHERE [b].[Id] IN (@ids1, @ids2, @ids3)
```

For more information, [see the EF release notes](https://learn.microsoft.com/ef/core/what-is-new/ef-core-10.0/whatsnew#parameterized-collection-translation).

## Small improvements and bug fixes
