In some cases, you may want to read/write binary data from/to your relational database. This can be a problem when the data set size exceeds the memory address size (eg. 32-bit processes) or the managed large object heap cannot load it all without throwing an OutOfMemoryException. In those cases, you will need to load the data into memory in chunks. Fortunately, the T-SQL syntax supports this operation.

A POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) must be transformed into a POCO proxy
[MyNamespace.MyClass ->{System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies.MyClass_0A943C2FC37D33304CEB497A9210C754E3F553B50315F8E6F0F7A6FAF43777F2}]{.Apple-style-span style=“font-size: x-small;”})
in order for features like lazy loading and change tracking to work.

MSDN has a great article that explains how to prepare a POCO to be transformed into a proxy. If you find that an object retrieved or attached to the context does not show itself in the DynamicProxies namespace (eg. MyNamespace.MyClass instead of ...DynamicProxies.MyClass), then you probably don't have a compliant class. You may have noticed this already when hovering your mouse cursor over an instance and seeing the runtime information on it.

The distilled points are that your POCO must:
