Linq DatabaseExists() and CreateDatabase() errors

DeepSeaDave · Post by **DeepSeaDave** » Wed 12 May 2010 16:55

I get a "The method or operation is not implemented" error when calling the DataContext.DatabaseExists() method, and I get a "Error on executing DbCommand" error when I try to execute the DataContext.CreateDatabase() method. Are these methods implemented and working? If so, what should I be looking for to see why it won't work for me?

Thanks,

The DatabaseExists() method is not implemented yet.
To run the CreateDatabase() method you should have the database already created with the name specified in the connection string . The user you connect under should have rights to execute DDL scripts.

So if I understand this correctly, all the CreateDatabase() method will do is create the tables in the already created database?

I would still have to use plain SQL to see if the database exists and then use SQL to create the database?

We are working on the DatabaseExists method.

We have implemented the DatabaseExists() method for MySQL. The new build will be available this week.
