Question

i’m keep getting this error msg:

Exception Details: MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Unknown column ‘Extent1.RuleType’ in ‘field list’

my mapping:

public abstract class AlertRule
{
    private DateTime? _updateDateTime = DateTime.Now;

    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public int TemplateId { get; set; }
    public virtual AlertRuleTemplate Template { get; set; }

    public string RuleType
    {
        get
        {
            if (Template == null)
                return null;
            return Template.Name;
        }
    }
}
public class AlertOutageRule:AlertRule
{
    public virtual List<AlertRuleOutage> AlertRuleOutages { get; set; }
}
public class AlertMissingRule:AlertRule{}
public class AlertMetadataRule:AlertRule{}

---

        public DbSet<AlertRule> AlertRules { get; set; }

---

        modelBuilder.Entity<AlertRule>()
            .Map<AlertOutageRule>(m => m.Requires("RuleType").HasValue("NewsOutage"))
            .Map<AlertMetadataRule>(m => m.Requires("RuleType").HasValue("NewsMetadata"))
            .Map<AlertMissingRule>(m => m.Requires("RuleType").HasValue("NewsMissing"));
            //.Property(m => m.TemplateId).HasColumnType("int");

        modelBuilder.Entity<AlertRule>().ToTable("AlertRule");

Answer 1

the public string RuleType defined as read only (no set{..}).

EF will not map this property with database. see Your DB schema it will generated only 2 column (Id, TemplateId)
