Description
The content on this topic is really useful. However, it doesn't clearly document the common API methods the `ExecutionStrategy` does — and does not — apply to.
For my purposes, I needed to know whether `ExecuteSqlCommandAsync` used the current `ExecutionStrategy` after seeing transient errors impact a web application health check.
Use case question: https://twitter.com/mattbrooks2010/status/1286063862370971648
Use case solution:
```csharp
await context.Database.CreateExecutionStrategy().ExecuteAsync(async () =>
{
// Check we can communicate successfully with the app database.
await context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommandAsync("SELECT 1");
});
```
A colleague of mine did eventually find this existing API documentation: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/blob/59734ea22f29d22f8d0c1673c59a99c54ec4e78d/src/EFCore.Relational/Extensions/RelationalDatabaseFacadeExtensions.cs#L120-L123
