EntityFunctions support in MySql

Question

I am getting error while using EntityFunctions.DiffMinutes() with MySQL. Below is my code

return db.DiscoveredDevices.Where(m => EntityFunctions.DiffMinutes((DateTime)m.

Answer 1

The DiffMinutes function doesn't exist in MySQL, just create it and will work:

CREATE FUNCTION `DiffMinutes`(timeValue1 datetime, timevalue2 datetime) RETURNS int(11)
    DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
RETURN TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, timeValue1, timevalue2);
END
