Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.pdb gets generated after the update to Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 2.0.0

[emirkljucanin]

Our CI pipeline removes all .pdb-s from the publish folder before packaging. After updating Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 2.0.0 our ASP.net core app stopped working and we figure out that Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.pdb is required in Release\netcoreapp3.1\runtimes\win-x64\native in .deps.json.
Is this .pdb really necessary, or is there a workaround for not requiring it?

Hi @kljuco

Based on discussions here: #644 (comment), we're planning to remove symbols in .NET Core native (SNI) NuGet. It's not required by driver, they're linked in deps.json from where without them publish doesn't happen. It's different how dotnet sdk handles PDBs for native-runtime v/s .net runtime packages.

Great. Thank you :)
