EF Core EnsureDelete doesn't clean up _EFMigrationsHistory Table

Dear DevArt team,
I'm trying to reset the database through EnsureDelete and running the migration after.
After EnsureDelete is called all tables are deleted but the _EFMigrationsHistory table still keeps the history of the migrations and obviously doesn't run Migration again. If _EFMigrationsHistory table is manually cleaned up then migration works as expected.
Please advise.
DevArt Version 9.6.646
Thanks
Susanna

By Microsoft design, EnsureCreated() / EnsureDelete() do not work with __EFMigrationsHistory.
__EFMigrationsHistory is used by Code-First Migrations, so the following code will clean up the __EFMigrationsHistory table:
Code: Select all
var migrator = context.GetService<IMigrator>();
migrator.Migrate("0");
// now you can call context.Database.Migrate();

I'm getting "table or view does not exist" on the execution of migrator.Migrate("0");
Thanks for the reply

Most likely, you removed tables with EnsureDelete(), then called migrator.Migrate("0"); that looks for the tables registered in __EFMigrationsHistory and cannot find them. If you use EnsureDelete(), clear __EFMigrationsHistory manually.

Now I started over and not getting the exception anymore, but it seems like the code below doesn't delete the tables and I'm getting "ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object" on next migration. Please let me know if I'm doing it wrong.
My goal is to reset the database without any manual operations.
var migrator = mContext.GetService<IMigrator>();
migrator.Migrate("0");
Thanks in advance

Please specify the code for reproducing the issue on an empty database, i.e. your code should create some table in the database via migration and apply migrator.Migrate("0").
