Page Example 2-3
Right after Example 2-7 |
And there it is, DataAccess.BreakAwayContext with a Destinations table and a Lodgings table. That EdmMetadata table is used by Code First’s database initialization, and you’ll learn more about that later.
"I do not have a "EdmMetaData" table when I run this project. (Example 2-3)
I only have "dbo.Destinations" and "dbo.Lodgings" tables in my SQLEXPRESS database.
How do I get that table?? If I will not need it later in the book I will not worry about it, but just very CURIOUS as to why I do not have that table. My project ran without any errors etc..
Many Thanks,
Super Dave

This changed with EF 4.3 when they introduced migrations. This blog post that I wrote has more details about this change: http://thedatafarm.com/blog/data-access/using-ef-migrations-with-an-existing-database/ |

beginning with last paragraph on page 7 |
The process as described in the book up to page 7 work perfectly. If you run the Console project repeatedly the rows will keep being added to the database table. So far so good.
However, in VS 2010 SP1, when I create a connection in Server Explorer to the SQLExpress file, the following problems occur: (the only work-around I found for this is to rename the context file but it has to be a name that was not previously used.)
Obviously, I can't continue with this book unless I can also view the contents of the database.
When the connection is open I get this error:
at System.Data.Entity.Internal.InternalContext.PerformInitializationAction(Action action)</StackTrace><ExceptionString>System.Data.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\DataAccess.MyBreakAwayContext.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".
Unable to open the physical file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\DataAccess.MyBreakAwayContext_log.LDF". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".
When the connection is close or deleted for VS 2010 Server Explorer, I get this error when I try to run the console project:
{"An exception occurred while initializing the database. See the InnerException for details."}
{"The underlying provider failed on Open."}
Note from the Author or Editor:
on page 29 there is a warning note at the top of the page. It currently has two paragraphs. Please add a 3rd paragraph that states :
If you are using the Server Explorer in Visual Studio to look at the database, then you'll need to close the Server Explorer's connection to the database in order for Code First to drop and recreate the database. You can do this by right-clicking the database connection in Server Explorer and choosing "Close Connection". |

Figure 1-3 |
There is a mismatch between the schema for table Patient and the class definition of Patient on page 5. The table is missing a column for FirstVisit. Since FirstVisit isn't used elsewhere in the Chapter, it should probably be dropped from the class rather than added to the database.
Note from the Author or Editor:
please removethe line:
public DateTime FirstVisit { get; set; }
in example 1-1 |

End of Section "Mapping keys" |
It says
"At the end of this section, you’ll see how to configure composite keys."
but I can't find any more information about composite keys.
Note from the Author or Editor:
For reader.
yeah ..we totally blew that. Sorry. Check this EF team blog post and you'll see a composite key via data annotations if you look at the LadyInWaiting class. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2011/01/27/using-dbcontext-in-ef-feature-ctp5-part-1-introduction-and-model.aspx
Here's the MSDN topic that has in it how to fluently configure composite keys.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh295847(v=vs.103).aspx
For O"Reilly - if we get more mentions of this, we'll consider adding in a little text. For now, just leave it be. |

https://kindle.amazon.com/post/JY7ELNE5BFUF
There is a change between the text talking about the example and the actual example. The text says "UpdatePerson" but the example header and the example itself are "UpdateTrip"
Note from the Author or Editor:
reader is correct. Just above Example 3-9. Could swear we caught this during the last round of QC before printing. :) Ah well. |

Example 5-2, the first line of the first statement in the constructor |
The statement should read:
Property(d => d.Name)
.IsRequired().HasColumnName("LocationName");
Note from the Author or Editor:
correct ....add "e)" to that first line |

End of the 5th paragraph |
This section is referring to the PersonPhoto entity.
It states:
"The Person and PersonTable classes meet these requirements".
Should state:
"The Person and PersonPhoto classes meet these requirements".
Note from the Author or Editor:
yes please fix as per the submission |

Example 5-10 |
Need to make three MINOR changes to the visual basic code listing
1&2) moving period from start of a line to the end of the previous line in two cases: So here I've add the period to the end of the first line, removed it from start of 2nd, added to end of third and removed from start of 4th.
Me.Property(Function(d) d.Name).
IsRequired().HasColumnName("LocationName")
Me.Property(Function(d) d.DestinationId).
HasColumnName("LocationID")
3) there is a section of t his code that starts with Me.Map followed by a section that starts with Map. That seconde one also needs to be Me.Map.
Thanks!

First code fragment |
Database.SetInitializer(null);
This code results in a compile time error.
I think the correct code should be
Database.SetInitializer<MyContextType>(null);
Note from the Author or Editor:
correct...our mistake (typo)
please change to
Database.SetInitializer<BreakawayContext>(null); |
