Case insensitive name of tables and properties in Entity Framework 7

Question

I use Entity Framework 7 with Npgsql adapter. Sql generated by EF seems like

SELECT \"r\".\"Id\", \"r\".\"Name\" FROM \"public\".\"Role\" AS \"r\"
         


        

Answer 1

1. Override DelimitIdentifier in NpgsqlSqlGenerationHelper like this:

   public class SqlGenerationHelper : NpgsqlSqlGenerationHelper
   {
       public override string DelimitIdentifier(string identifier) => identifier.Contains(".") ? base.DelimitIdentifier(identifier) : identifier;
   }
   

2. Replace ISqlGenerationHelper with your class using ReplaceService method:

   public class MyContext : DbContext
   {
       public virtual DbSet MyTable { get; set; }
   
       public MyContext(DbConnection connection) :
              base(new DbContextOptionsBuilder().UseNpgsql(connection)
                                                .ReplaceService()
                                                .Options) 
       { }
   }
