Changing schema name on runtime - Entity Framework

Question

I need to change the storage schema of the entities on runtime. I\'ve followed a wonderful post, available here: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/idof/archive/2008/08/22/c

I need import data from postgres database. It by default use schema "public". So I use Entity Framework CTP 4 "Code first". It by default use schema "dbo". To change it in runtime I use:

public class PublicSchemaContext : DbContext
{
    protected override void OnModelCreating(System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.ModelBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.Entity().MapSingleType().ToTable("[public].[series_categories]");
    }

    public DbSet series_categories { get; set; }
}

It work for select, insert, update and delete data. So next test in pass:

[Test]
        public void AccessToPublicSchema()
        {
            // Select
            var db = new PublicSchemaContext();
            var list = db.series_categories.ToList();
            Assert.Greater(list.Count, 0);
            Assert.IsNotNull(list.First().series_category);

            // Delete
            foreach (var item in db.series_categories.Where(c => c.series_category == "Test"))
                db.series_categories.Remove(item);
            db.SaveChanges();

            // Insert
            db.series_categories.Add(new series_categories { series_category = "Test", series_metacategory_id = 1 });
            db.SaveChanges();

            // Update
            var test = db.series_categories.Single(c => c.series_category == "Test");
            test.series_category = "Test2";
            db.SaveChanges();

            // Delete
            foreach (var item in db.series_categories.Where(c => c.series_category == "Test2"))
                db.series_categories.Remove(item);
            db.SaveChanges();
        }
