Change Entity framework database schema at runtime

Question

In most asp.net applications you can change the database store by modifing the connectionstring at runtime. i.e I can change from using a test database to a production database

Answer 1

Sorry its not a robust answer but I found this project on codeplex ( as well as this question ) while googling around for a similar problem:

http://efmodeladapter.codeplex.com/

The features include:

• Run-time adjustment of model schema, including:
• Adjusting data-level table prefixes or suffixes
• Adjusting the owner of database objects

Some code from the docs:

public partial class MyObjectContext : BrandonHaynes.ModelAdapter.EntityFramework.AdaptingObjectContext
{
        public MyObjectContext() 
        : base(myConnectionString, 
        new ConnectionAdapter(
            new TablePrefixModelAdapter("Prefix", 
                new TableSuffixModelAdapter("Suffix")), 
        System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()))
    {
    ...
    }

}

Looks like its exactly what your looking for.
