Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework - ORA-019

Question

I am trying to implemente code First Migrations with Oracle.ManagedDataAccess 6.121.1.0 provider, but with no success at all.

As I am receiving a ORA-code, I am assuming that the connection are been opened successfully. But the Migrations are failing because, maybe, the provider are behaving as a SQL Server, instead of Oracle. I think that beacause it is traying to use 'dbo' as default schema.

Here is my web.config settings:

<configuration>
  <configSections>
   <section name="entityFramework"
             type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"

Answer 1

Setting default schema didn't work for me. I found the solution by customizing migrations history table to set a different schema.

You can find a solution here: LINK.

Answer 2

in Code First you can use the DataAnnotations for Table .

[Table("Emplpoyee",Schema="YOUR SCHEMA NAME"]

Answer 3

I solve this just setting the default schema at modelBuilder

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.HasDefaultSchema("MyOracleSchema");

    // ...
}

Answer 4

User Dbo also comes in case of missing fully qualified name of the Table. Which may not map to the right Table in the database.

Answer 5

I had the same problem and it was resolved by Thiago Lunardi's response. Thank you. I didn't have enough reputation to vote up your response. To mention here, I succeeded after setting my schema name in UPPERCASE.

Put this in your Context file under your new dbContext class, like this:

public partial class MyAppContext : DbContext
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.HasDefaultSchema("UPPERCASE_SCHEMA_NAME");
...

Answer 6

If you use Automatic Migrations (as I was), then note: modelBuilder.HasDefaultSchema whouldn't help until you switch to explicit migrations.

From Oracle Docs:

Code First Automatic Migrations is limited to working with the dbo schema only. Due to this limitation it is recommended to use code-based migrations, that is, add explicit migrations through the Add-Migration command
