I’m using EF 4.1 CodeFirst to create my DB. It seems that EF is creating all primary keys with clustered index, which is not optimal for us in one case(possibly more cases).
Is there a way to tell EF to generate this table with primary key as a non-clustered index ?
Of course we could do it manually using custom script after database is already created, but we have a lot of foreign keys pointing to this table, it would be quite a non-optimal solution if there is a better, more straight forward way to do the same already during DB creation.
Any help appreciated
No there is no way to control SQL code first generates – it is code first and its current philosophy (the bad one actually) is: you know nothing about the database and you don’t bother.
The only way to change this behavior is to write custom database initializer, use custom database queries to search for created index, remove that index and create a new one. Some references:
The initilizer will make your solution dependent on the concrete database server product.
