title: Do ConnectRetryInterval and ConnectRetryCount Entity Framework SQL connection string settings interfer with Execution strategy?
body: <p>I wonder if ConnectRetryInterval and ConnectRetryCount Entity Framework SQL connection string settings make EF to retry DB failed updates. Please, see example of  the EF connection string with the settings below</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;add key="MyConnectionString" value ="metadata=res://*/MyModel.csdl|res://*/MyModel.ssdl|res://*/MyModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&amp;quot;data source=MySQLServer;initial catalog=My;integrated security=True;    ConnectRetryCount=4;ConnectRetryInterval=5; Connection Timeout=5; pooling=False;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&amp;quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Another question is about ConnectRetryInterval&amp;ConnectRetryCount interference with DbExecutionStrategy/SqlAzureExecutionStrategy retry logic. Do connection settings retry first and Execution Strategy after that? Or, connection settings and Execution Strategy overlap each other's retry attempts depending on retry time intervals? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
