'Group' is a reserved keyword and cannot be used as an alias, unless it is escaped

I'm using Entity Framework 4.1 with repository pattern (Database is already existing). My problem is the existence of a table called GROUP (which is reserved). This is a production database which i cannot change.

So, using all this techniques above i'm getting the following error:

开发者_运维问答

'Group' is a reserved keyword and cannot be used as an alias, unless it is escaped.

Is it possible to tell Entity Framework to use the following as the table name: [GROUP]

EDIT The class with the db context looks like the following (stripped down)

 public class AMTDatabase : DbContext
    {

      private IDbSet<GROUP> _Groups;
      public IDbSet<GROUP> Group
      {
        get { return _Groups ?? (_Groups = DbSet<GROUP>()); }
      }


    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {        
      base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
      modelBuilder.Entity<GROUP>().ToTable("GROUP");      
    }
    //etc
    }

Thanks in advance

Well it seems very weird, but notice the property name above: the name is Group and it should read Groups! This is the reason i'm getting this error. The corrected code is the following:

private IDbSet<GROUP> _Groups;
        public IDbSet<GROUP> Groups
        {
            get { return _Groups ?? (_Groups = DbSet<GROUP>()); }
        }

Works like a charm now!

Try to use another naming for you class and tell him to use the Group table in your database like so:

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{        
    base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
    modelBuilder.Entity<MyGroup>().ToTable("GROUP");      
}

Or with the attributes directly on your entity class:

[Table("Group")]
public class MyGroup
{
    [Key]
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    [Column("GroupId")]
    public int GroupId { get; set; }
}
