EF Core to Mysql table binding

Question

I have the following table in MySQL

When I run the following code in some middleware

var apiKeys = _appContext.apikey.ToList();

I get this error

System.InvalidOperationException: No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Int16' and 'System.Boolean'.

This is my ApiKey class

public class ApiKey
{
    public string apikeyid { get; set; }
    public string uid { get; set; }
    public string apikey { get; set; }
    public bool isactive { get; set;}
    public bool ispaid { get; set; }
    public bool ismod { get; set; }
    public bool isadmin { get; set; }
}

I had this working with a Postgresql db and just moved over to MySQL. Does this have something to do with going from tinyint (in the db) to bool (in the class)?

I'm using MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore 8.0.13

Answer 1

2 possible options as answered in comments already.

• Pomelo driver supports bool to int mapping,

• Second option would be using value converters, which works with the other driver.

  entity.Property(p => p.isActive).HasConversion< int >();
