Thanks! Finally. The one and only proper piece of information on the internets on how to connect ef core to existing db. One command in PMC, I've been looking for about a week for this, no other info on EF Core specifically on that. And looks like this Scaffold-DbContext thing is only accessible via PMC at the time, not via gui somewhere. I'm just glad I've found it. Thank you

Thank you! I’ve spent the better part of two hours trying to find a way to connect a .net 6 console app to an existing sql server database. This did the trick!

Awesome! Glad it was helpful. :)

When you run the Scaffold-DbContext "" command, does it create a model for each of the tables in the database? Is there a way to just create a model of a specific table?? :,)

[@ivankotov4437]

We need a video in case when there is a 2000+ tablespoon in the database, but the requirements is to work just with 2.

[@marek19922209]

[@Felipe.Silva.Varela]

[@TheNicoya77]

where did the connection string come from? I got mine by right click my ContosoPizza database, then properties and I copy the connection string, but is not working. In my database folder in my sql server I have a couple more data bases I created in other projects. Any ideas? is just fails no other messages is shown. Im 100% new to this.

[@TheNicoya77]

I figured it out. My Program.cs was completely empty. It needs to have some code in there like a console.writeline or a static method . Why? i dont know lol.

[@camsoper7902]
