How to Specify Primary Key Name in EF-Code-First

Question

I\'m using Entity Framework Codefirst to create my Database. The default Primary key with the schema name dbo.pk_Jobs seems to upset access 2007 when I connect to it over OD

As far as I know you can't specify the PK name with Data Attribute. Sometimes I need to get rid of the dbo. part of the name and I then use a manually edited code first migration to change the name, like this:

public partial class ChangeNameOnPKInCustomers : DbMigration
{
    private static string fromName = "PK_dbo.Customers";    // Name to change

    private static string toName = fromName.Replace("dbo.", "");

    public override void Up()
    {
        Sql($"exec sp_rename @objname=N'[dbo].[{fromName}]', @newname=N'{toName}'");
        // Now the PK name is "PK_Customers".
    }

    public override void Down()
    {
        Sql($"exec sp_rename @objname=N'[dbo].[{toName}]', @newname=N'{fromName}'");
        // Back to "PK_dbo.Customers".
    }
}
