DKNet.EfCore.Relational.Helpers

Small set of DbContext extension methods for relational-provider bookkeeping: table creation without a migration, an already-open connection, resolved schema/table names, and table-existence checks.

Install

dotnet add package DKNet.EfCore.Relational.Helpers

Features

  • CreateTableAsync<TEntity>() — ensures the database exists and creates the table for TEntity if it isn't already there (one-shot, not a migration)
  • GetDbConnection() — returns the DbContext's underlying DbConnection, opening it if closed
  • GetTableName<TEntity>() — resolves the schema and table name EF Core mapped for TEntity (with the SQL Server dbo default applied)
  • TableExistsAsync<TEntity>() — checks whether the table for TEntity exists in the database

Quick start

using DKNet.EfCore.Relational.Helpers;

if (!await dbContext.TableExistsAsync<Product>())
{
    await dbContext.CreateTableAsync<Product>();
}

var (schema, table) = dbContext.GetTableName<Product>();

Customisation reference

There is no options class, no IServiceCollection extension, and no MSBuild switch — the surface is the four methods' parameters and the provider-dependent behaviour they inherit.

Method Knob Type Default Effect
CreateTableAsync<TEntity> TEntity class required Picks the table whose existence is probed. Creation itself is not scoped to it — CreateTablesAsync creates every table missing from the model.
CreateTableAsync<TEntity> cancellationToken CancellationToken default Flows into the exists check, EnsureCreatedAsync, the table probe and CreateTablesAsync.
GetDbConnection cancellationToken CancellationToken default Used only when the connection was closed and has to be opened.
GetTableName<TEntity> default schema — "dbo" on SQL Server, otherwise null Substituted only when the provider name is exactly Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer and the model supplies no schema.
GetTableName<TEntity> resolution order — GetSchema() → GetDefaultSchema() → default schema; GetTableName() → GetDefaultTableName() Fixed. Returns (null, null) when TEntity is not in the model.
TableExistsAsync<TEntity> swallowed exception — DbException only Any DbException reads as "table absent"; everything else propagates.
TableExistsAsync<TEntity> cancellationToken CancellationToken default Flows into the AnyAsync probe.

All four require a relational provider, and none of them record a migration — mixing CreateTableAsync with EF Core Migrations on the same database leaves an inconsistent __EFMigrationsHistory.
