DKNet.EfCore.Relational.Helpers
Relational table metadata, existence, connection and one-shot schema helpers for .NET developers writing infrastructure code.
✨ Why use it?
- Resolve mapped table and schema names without a database round trip.
- Ask the database catalog whether a mapped table exists without probing entity rows.
- Use the context connection for ADO.NET or provision an empty model schema through an explicit table gate.
🚀 Quick Start
Use a .NET 10 console project. Install the package, then replace Program.cs with the example.
dotnet new console -f net10.0 -n EfCoreDemo
cd EfCoreDemo
dotnet add package DKNet.EfCore.Relational.Helpers
dotnet add package Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL --version 10.0.3
using DKNet.EfCore.Relational.Helpers;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<DemoDb>()
.UseNpgsql("Host=localhost;Database=unused;Username=unused;Password=unused").Options;
using var db = new DemoDb(options);
Console.WriteLine(db.GetTableName<Item>()); // (, Items)
public sealed class DemoDb(DbContextOptions<DemoDb> options) : DbContext(options)
{
public DbSet<Item> Items => Set<Item>();
}
public sealed class Item { public int Id { get; set; } }
Run with dotnet run. This metadata-only example does not connect to the placeholder endpoint.
Documentation
| Guide | Read when |
|---|---|
| Package overview | Start with architecture and the end-to-end flow. |
| Resolve an entity table and schema | Read the physical table name and schema from EF Core model metadata without opening a connection. |
| Open the context connection for ADO.NET | Get the connection already associated with the DbContext, opening it when its state is Closed. |
| Check whether a mapped table exists | Query INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES using the entity mapped table and, when known, schema. |
| Create a model schema behind one table gate | Use CreateTableAsync<TEntity> only for one-shot provisioning against an empty relational schema. |
