Associations naming not the same as the fk constraint name

Post by MrRock » Fri 27 Aug 2010 11:52

Hello,
I have a problems with the naming of the associations when using dotconnect for Oracle (v5.70.152.0) to create an EF model...

It seems that the names of these associations are not the actual names of the FK constraints in DB, but just auto-incremented numbers.

Can I get the association names to be the same as names of FK constraints, or I need to do this manually?

Thanks.

We have reproduced this issue. It persists only in VS 2010 and only with MS Entity Data Model. I will post here when the problem is fixed. As a workaround, please use Entity Developer (the Devart Entity Model template) or change the names of associations manually.

Hi Shalex, tnx for your response.
I have already tried this with Entity Developer and haven't succeded. Is there a way to force Entity Developer to name associations like FK Constraints?

Do you mean that there is no way in Entity Developer to name association like FK Constraints or naming in Entity Developer is like in VS2010 at the moment (C1, C141, etc)?

We have fixed the problem in VS2010. Look forward to the next build of dotConnect for Oracle. I will post here when it is available for download.

No, Entity Developer doesn't name them "C1" etc, but it doesn't name them as FK names too, it has naming convention like "Object1Object1".

Anyway, glad to hear it is fixed now, looking forward for a new version :)

We will implement an option in Entity Developer to name associations as the names of FK Constraints and notify you when it is available.

The behaviour will be changed starting from the next build of dotConnect for Oracle: the association names will be generated basing on the database FK names when using Database First approach. We will notify you when the corresponding build is available for download.
