+# Primitive Collections
+
+Primitive Collections allow us to store a list of primitive values in a column WITHOUT having to create a separate table.  EF Core will automatically do this for any primitive collections on our entities.  This doesn't require any special configuration.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- Keep DB Schema clean without having to create unneeded tables for primitive collections
+
+## Resources
+
+- [EF Core Docs | Primitive Collections](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/what-is-new/ef-core-8.0/whatsnew#primitive-collections)
