Covers creating stored procedures inside blank EF Core migrations with `migrationBuilder.Sql()`, ensuring they are version-controlled and applied automatically. Also explains when to use `FromSqlRaw` (no parameters), `FromSqlInterpolated` (parameterized queries returning entities), and `ExecuteSqlInterpolatedAsync` (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands), with full code examples using Minimal API endpoints.
