Known bugs and issues

  • Some database migrations doesn’t work by default. Sometimes is better make intermediate migrations for solve problems.

  • Some Query Expressions doesn’t work by default. We need to make some workaround, ie: Use Cast().

  • Combined duration expressions need more research. No all combination of expressions works.
