Create database with dotConnect 8.1, EF 6.0.1 and Oracle 11g

Our environment is the following:
- Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.3.0 (64bit)
- Entity Framework 6.0.1
- dotConnect Oracle 8.1.26

I want to create the database from Ef having a simple entity called Country.

Code: Select all

Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<SomeContext>());
using (var context = new SomeContext())
{
   string sqlscript = (context as IObjectContextAdapter).ObjectContext.CreateDatabaseScript();

   context.Database.Initialize(true);
}
The 'sqlscript' gives the following output. But it seems that it generates syntax for Oracle 12 and not Oracle 11.

Code: Select all

create table [dbo].[COUNTRY] (
    [ID] [int] not null identity,
    [ISOCODE] [nvarchar](8) null,
    [ISEU] [bit] not null,
    [TRANSLATIONDATA] [nvarchar](4000) null,
    primary key ([ID])
);
The 'Initialize' doesn't give an exception but nothing is generated in the database.
I also tried with the connectionstring in direct mode.

It seems like your current SQL is generated for System.Data.SqlClient. To employ Devart.Data.Oracle, please replace the existing entityFramework section with the following one:

Code: Select all

   <entityFramework>
      <providers>
         <provider invariantName="Devart.Data.Oracle" type="Devart.Data.Oracle.Entity.OracleEntityProviderServices, Devart.Data.Oracle.Entity, Version=8.1.26.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701" />
      </providers>
   </entityFramework>
Also change the connection string to the one which uses Devart.Data.Oracle.

Thx, that was indeed the problem!

Now I get an exception when trying to generate the following model when calling 'CreateDatabaseScript'

Code: Select all

public class SomeContext : DbContext
{
   public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }

   protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
   {
      modelBuilder.Entity<SpecialUser>().ToTable("UserSpecial");
   }
}

public abstract class User
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
}

public class SpecialUser : User
{
   public List<Country> Countries { get; set; }
}

public class Country  
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
}
The exception is a 'NullReferenceException'. Note that the same model with SQL Server doesn't generate an error. Also when I comment the line below it works.

Code: Select all

 modelBuilder.Entity<SpecialUser>().ToTable("UserSpecial");
The exception generated by 'CreateDatabaseScript' is

Code: Select all

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled

The bug related to the NRE on the CreateDatabaseScript() method, when the Code-First model is not configured completely, is fixed. We will notify you when the corresponding build of dotConnect for PostgreSQL is available for download.

Just to be sure, will it also fixed for 'dotConnect for Oracle'?

The fix will be included in the next build of dotConnect for Oracle as well.

The new (8.1.36) build of dotConnect for Oracle includes the fix. Please try it.
