Create C# classes based of MySQL table

Question

Is there anything built into .Net or visual studio that will allow my to create classes based off of a MySql table. I guess I am talking about persistence. I just want the class

Answer 1

maybe you need something like this:

select 'my_table' into @table; #table name
select 'my_database' into @schema; #database name
select concat('public class ',@table,'{') union
select concat('public ',tps.dest,' ',column_name,'{get;set;}') from  information_schema.columns c
join( #datatypes mapping
select 'char' as orign ,'string' as dest union all
select 'varchar' ,'string' union all
select 'longtext' ,'string' union all
select 'datetime' ,'DateTime?' union all
select 'text' ,'string' union all
select 'bit' ,'int?' union all
select 'bigint' ,'int?' union all
select 'int' ,'int?' union all
select 'double' ,'double?' union all
select 'decimal' ,'double?' union all
select 'date' ,'DateTime?' union all
select 'tinyint' ,'bool?'
) tps on c.data_type like tps.orign
where table_schema=@schema and table_name=@table union
select '}';

Answer 2

I use NHibernate with MyGeneration

MyGeneration is a program that can read your database schema and generate code based on a template (in the case of NHibernate, the Entities and Mappings)

Answer 3

there appears to be a way to get EntityFramework working with MySQL

Using MySQL with Entity Framework

Answer 4

You can use the Entity Framework for this. It connects well with MySQL. I've been following this tutorial: http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/mysql/articles/tutorial_ef.html

Answer 5

Subsonic (open source) works with MySQL (5.0+) with special support for InnoDB -

Answer 6

I adjusted the sql of MeelStorm because it was appearing some errors regarding the language. I put other types of data as well and I drop the class declaration because this is unnecessary to me. So the final result is:

select concat('public ',tps.dest,' ',column_name,'{get;set;}') as code 
from  information_schema.columns c
join(
select 'char' as orign ,'string' as dest union all
select 'varchar' ,'string' union all
select 'longtext' ,'string' union all
select 'datetime' ,'DateTime' union all
select 'text' ,'string' union all
select 'bit' ,'int' union all
select 'bigint' ,'int' union all
select 'int' ,'int' union all
select 'double' ,'double' union all
select 'decimal' ,'double' union all
select 'date' ,'DateTime' union all
select 'tinyint' ,'bool'
) tps on c.data_type like tps.orign
where table_schema='your_schema' and table_name='your_table' 
order by c.ordinal_position

Hope it helps. Cheers!
