 ## Client-side async LINQ operators
 
-The async LINQ operators discussed above can only be used on EF queries - you cannot use them with client-side LINQ to Objects query. To perform client-side async LINQ operations outside of EF, use the [System.Linq.Async package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Linq.Async); this package can be especially useful for performing operations on the client that cannot be translated for evaluation at the server.

+### DbSet no longer implements IAsyncEnumerable
+
+[Tracking Issue #24041](https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/24041)
+
+#### Old behavior
+
+<xref:Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbSet%601>, which is used to execute queries on DbContext, used to implement <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IAsyncEnumerable%601>.
+
+#### New behavior
+
+<xref:Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbSet%601> no longer directly implements <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IAsyncEnumerable%601>.
+
+#### Why
+
+<xref:Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbSet%601> was originally made to implement <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IAsyncEnumerable%601> mainly in order to allow direct enumeration on it via the `foreach` construct. Unfortunately, when a project also references [System.Linq.Async](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Linq.Async) in order to compose async LINQ operators client-side, this resulted in an ambiguous invocation error between the operators defined over `IQueryable<T>` and those defined over `IAsyncEnumerable<T>`. C# 9 added [extension `GetEnumerator` support for `foreach` loops](/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/proposals/csharp-9.0/extension-getenumerator), removing the original main reason to reference `IAsyncEnumerable`.
+
+The vast majority of `DbSet` usages will continue to work as-is, since they either compose LINQ operators over `DbSet`, enumerate it directly, etc. The only usages broken are those which attempt to cast `DbSet` directly to `IAsyncEnumerable`.
+
+#### Mitigations
+
+If you need to refer to a <xref:Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbSet%601> as an <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IAsyncEnumerable%601>, call <xref:Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbSet%601.AsAsyncEnumerable%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> to explicitly cast it.
