Question

I have a custom DbContext class.
I have existing tables in the system.
I have setup a POCO based system.

When I try to query the DbSet for a table, then it tries to create the table.
Now the table already exist in the DB, sql server will throw exception.

How to suppress creation of tables via EF?

Put this in your DbContext implementation:

// static constructor
static MyDbContext()
{
    Database.SetInitializer<MyDbContext>(null);
}
