I got a model and a Sql View (from another DB with another Collation setting).
I put a navigation property on my model and i want to include data from the view but it causes an error.
View defined and mapped to my class in ApplicationDbContext
builder.Entity<VariantView>().
ToView("VariantsView")
.HasKey(v => v.ItemNo);
On my EF core entity
[ForeignKey("ItemNo")]
public VariantView? VariantView { get; set;}
In my query i do like
var q = dbContext.Masters.
.Include(variant => variant!.VariantView)
.Where(m => m.Id == request.Id);
in pure sql it is easy to fix by forcing the collation on the
..
FROM Masters m
LEFT JOIN VariantsView AS vv
ON vv.ItemNo COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS = m.ItemNo COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS
..
Is there no way to add this to the EF Include method ?
Note: I got 6 others navigation props that gets included as well so rather not go all in on SQL
