Entity framework code first creates “discriminator” column

Question

I am using EF CF approach for a website with MySQL. For some reason EF creates a column in my Post table called \"Discriminator\" and contains the VARCHAR \"Post\".

Answer 1

For completeness, if you want to use the fluent API to stop the inheriting class from being mapped with entity (and therefore stopping the discriminator column being created) you can do the following:

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.Ignore();
}
