Error: The method or operation is not implemented. while scaffolding MYSQL Database

Question

I'm using .net core 2.0. I have installed the following nuget Packages: 1: Microsoft.AspNetCore.All 2: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools 3: MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore 4: MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore.Design

When I try to scaffold the database using the following command in the package manager console

Scaffold-DbContext "server=localhost;port=3306;user=root;password=mypass;database=SampleDB" MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore -OutputDir SampleEFMySQL -f

I get the following Error.

System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.

How do I work with MySQL using Entity Framwork Core(in .net core 2.0)

Answer 1

This appears to be a bug in Connector/NET: bug 89310, also reported as bug 90368.

Many people (e.g., here and here) recommend switching to Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql instead (to use MySQL with Entity Framework Core on .NET Core).
