title: Eager loading entities with raw SQL
body: <p>I know that it is possible in Entity Framework (Code First) to load an entity using raw SQL like <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/jj592907.aspx" rel="noreferrer">this</a>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using (var context = new BloggingContext())
  {
      var blogs = context.Blogs.SqlQuery("SELECT * FROM dbo.Blogs").ToList();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But is it possible to somehow eagerly load navigation properties using this method as well?  I would like to write a custom query that loads a complex entity and eagerly loads its navigation properties (using EF with <code>Includes</code> has proven too slow).</p>
