我的结论是 localdb 不是 SQL Server 的生产支持版本.

如此处所述

LocalDB 是一种特殊的、低影响的 SQL Server 引擎版本，它不作为 Windows 服务安装，而是由 ADO.NET 客户端打开与它的连接按需启动(运行).它适用于单用户场景，不适用于任何生产用途 - 对于生产，您应该使用 SQL Server Express(或更高版本)

Does UWP support LocalDB?
My investigations indicate there are some issues using localdb that I don't experience with SQL Server 2017 Development edition.

I managed to convert a winforms EF-Code First, xaf application to run as a UWP app with the help of this blog

I have Enterprise Authentication set.

When I run the desktop bridge app it creates the database and log file inside

c:userskirst

which is my user folder.

However I cannot see the new database in the SQL Server Object Explorer

Clicking Refresh does not help.

A similar app that does not use the desktop bridge will also create the database inside my user directory. In this case I can also see the database in the SQL Server Object Explorer , (localdb)MSSQLLocalDB

In both cases the connection string is of the form

"Integrated Security=SSPI;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Data Source=(localdb)mssqllocaldb;Initial Catalog=mydatabase" 

and

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

I am using Entity Framework 6.2

.Net Framework 4.7.2

UWP Target Version and Min Version 1809 Build 17763

I am running in the VS2017 15.9.4 IDE

At a dos prompt in c:Program filesMicrosoft SQL Server

dir sqlservr.exe /s shows 2 files

one at

c:Program filesMicrosoft SQL Server130LocalDBBinn

and one at

c:Program filesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL14.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLBinn

When I query @@Version from within the program, in both cases I see

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (SP1) (KB3182545) - 13.0.4001.0 (X64)   
Oct 28 2016 18:17:30   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation  
Express Edition (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro 6.3 <X64> 
(Build 17763: ) (Hypervisor)

I experience problems if I try to connect to the database created by my UWP App from my non UWP Program

For example this message about a log file in a folder that does not exist.

[Update1]

I set up a simple demo of the problem on Github

Set the Startup project to WAPProjThings (The Desktop Bridge) to run it.

In the demo ,if I create the database via the Bridge App as startup then switch to the console app to run, I get

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in EntityFramework.dll
Additional information: Cannot create file 'C:UserskirstThings02.mdf' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation.
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors. occurred

If I create the database using the Console App and then try and open it with the Bridge app the error is

`System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException
  HResult=0x80131904
  Message=Cannot create file 'C:UserskirstThings03.mdf' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation.

[Update2]

I tried to investigate whether a new UWP app - non desktop bridge had the same issue. To do this I created a solution containing UWP app and a Framework 4.7.2 library. Nuget let me add Entity Framework 6.2 to both projects. However when I tried to add a reference the library from the UWP I got a message

Unable to add a reference to project

followed by

The method or operation is not implemented

Then I got the Warning

Warning NU1701  Package 'EntityFramework 6.2.0' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1'
instead of the project target framework 'UAP,Version=v10.0.17134'. 
This package may not be fully compatible with your project. App1    C:devXThings2App1App1.csproj

[Update3]

I created a new UWP App with a UWP Class library to hold an Entity Framework Core Data Access layer.

However when I tried to run that I got an error indicating that

[Update4]

Back in my original program I have discovered that create database behaviour of the UWP app is different when running in release mode to running in debug mode.

When running in Release Mode via the Bridge Project CheckDatabaseCompatibility does not trigger the xaf DatabaseVersionMismatch event. When running in Release mode in the console project it does. ( This particular behavior occurs for SQL Server Developer edition as well ) Possibly I should write it up as a separate question, but I mention it here in case it is linked.

I have come to the conclusion that localdb is not a supported version of SQL Server for production.

As explained here

LocalDB is a special, low impact version of the SQL Server engine, that is not installed as a Windows Service, but launched (made to run) on demand by the ADO.NET client opening a connection to it. It is intended for single user scenarios, and not for any prodcution use - for production you should use SQL Server Express (or higher)
