Question

I’m trying to create a simple Entity model for the chinook database with all the tables and Vs2010 isn’t creating any relationships or navigation properties. They certainly exist, they appear in a database diagram in SSMS.

I have another machine (also vs2010 sp1 and sql express 2008 r2) that isn’t having this problem, but I have no idea what’s different there.

Here’s what the created model looks like:

Skip the following lines when creating your database. I believe they confuse EF:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Album] ON [dbo].[Album]([AlbumId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Artist] ON [dbo].[Artist]([ArtistId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Customer] ON [dbo].[Customer]([CustomerId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Employee] ON [dbo].[Employee]([EmployeeId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Genre] ON [dbo].[Genre]([GenreId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Invoice] ON [dbo].[Invoice]([InvoiceId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_InvoiceLine] ON [dbo].[InvoiceLine]([InvoiceLineId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_MediaType] ON [dbo].[MediaType]([MediaTypeId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Playlist] ON [dbo].[Playlist]([PlaylistId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_PlaylistTrack] ON [dbo].[PlaylistTrack]([PlaylistId], [TrackId]);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IPK_Track] ON [dbo].[Track]([TrackId]);
GO
