Column 'Id' in table 'AspNetRoles' is of a type that is invalid for use as a key column in an index - entity-framework

Question

I am using .net5.0 EF
I have a class AppUser and extend it to IdentityUser
public class AppUser : IdentityUser
{
}
I am using command to generate EF migrations
dotnet ef migrations add "myMessage" -p Persistence -s API
I have deleted all previous migration files, so this is a new migration.
I also deleted the DB as well.
I am ablle to successfullly generate new db in sqlLite.
But when I am trying to do the same in production / testing server SQL, it gives me below issue.
fail: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command[20102]
Failed executing DbCommand (38ms) [Parameters=[], CommandType='Text', CommandTimeout='60']
CREATE TABLE [AspNetRoles] (
[Id] TEXT NOT NULL,
[Name] TEXT NULL,
[NormalizedName] TEXT NULL,
[ConcurrencyStamp] TEXT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_AspNetRoles] PRIMARY KEY ([Id])
);
fail: API.Program[0]
An error occured during migration
Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Column 'Id' in table 'AspNetRoles' is of a type that is invalid for use as a key column in an index.
Could not create constraint or index. See previous errors.

The error relates to something in AspNetRoles table
But I am not even touching anything in this AspNetRoles table.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks
Autogenerated migration code below
protected override void Up(MigrationBuilder migrationBuilder)
{
migrationBuilder.CreateTable(
name: "AspNetRoles",
columns: table => new
{
Id = table.Column<string>(type: "TEXT", nullable: false),
Name = table.Column<string>(type: "TEXT", maxLength: 256, nullable: true),
NormalizedName = table.Column<string>(type: "TEXT", maxLength: 256, nullable: true),
ConcurrencyStamp = table.Column<string>(type: "TEXT", nullable: true)
},
constraints: table =>
{
table.PrimaryKey("PK_AspNetRoles", x => x.Id);
});

Answer 1

This error is due to the fact that the migration code EF generates for SQLite is different from the migration code generated for SQL Server. Check your builder configuration logic (Program.cs or Startup.cs) and make sure that you are specifying the correct database options when invoking AddDbContext. When using a SQL Server database you'll need to specify that as follows:
builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(connection));
For comparison to your SQLite migration code, this is what the SQL Server migration code looks like for the default AspNetRoles table:
migrationBuilder.CreateTable(
name: "AspNetRoles",
columns: table => new
{
Id = table.Column<string>(type: "nvarchar(450)", nullable: false),
Name = table.Column<string>(type: "nvarchar(256)", maxLength: 256, nullable: true),
NormalizedName = table.Column<string>(type: "nvarchar(256)", maxLength: 256, nullable: true),
ConcurrencyStamp = table.Column<string>(type: "nvarchar(max)", nullable: true)
},
constraints: table =>
{
table.PrimaryKey("PK_AspNetRoles", x => x.Id);
});

I think for sql server's text type index is maximum length required. using FluentApi you can set maxLength for Id.
public class AppDbContext
{
....
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
{
builder.Entity<Role>().Property(x => x.Id).HasMaxLength(250);
base.OnModelCreating(builder);
}
}
and re-migration created required.

Answer 3

The migrations created for SQLite is not useable for Sql Server, so you have to create new migrations like this:
step 1: Change "UseSqlite" to "UseSqlServer"
builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlite(connectionString));
To
builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(connectionString));
step 2: Remove all migrations (by deleting the "Migrations" folder)
step 3: add a new migration, then update the database
dotnet ef migrations add "CreateIdentitySchema"
dotnet ef database update
