Tags: connectors, connector, connector-net, mysql-development

MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.1 beta is the second release which supports Scaffold-DbContext, that enables the creation of corresponding model classes from an existing database that are compatible with Entity Framework (EF) Core 1.1.

To download MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.1 beta, see the “Development Releases” tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

Known limitations of this release

  • The output classes cannot exist prior to using the EF Core database first feature.
  • The target database must have a table with a primary key.
  • The target database cannot contain one or more views.
  • The JSON data exchange format is not supported by the EF Core database first feature.
  • No error message is provided when a table given as input does not exist in the database and a model context is created without any table by the EF Core database first feature.
  • The EF Core database first feature does not support the following data types:
    + BINARY
    + VARBINARY
    + MEDIUMBLOB
    + LONGBLOB
    + SET
    + DATE
    + TIME
    + YEAR
  • DbContext within an application can emit an unhandled exception. Due to this limitation, MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.9 is the preferred version to use with EF6.
