Pivot Runner: force delete of existing constraint that match a constraint needed for the new model - codefluent

Question

Facing same issue, is there any progress on this one :

Thanks for your answer,
EDIT: this is the code used to delete all the constraints
private static void RemoveCodeFluentConstraintsTable(IList<PivotRunnerConstraint> constraints, String connectionString)
{
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
con.Open();
// Set up a command with the given query and associate
// this with the current connection.
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT tables.name as tableName, default_constraints.name as constraintName FROM sys.all_columns INNER JOIN sys.tables ON all_columns.object_id = tables.object_id INNER JOIN sys.schemas ON tables.schema_id = schemas.schema_id INNER JOIN sys.default_constraints ON all_columns.default_object_id = default_constraints.object_id", con))
{
foreach (PivotRunnerConstraint constraint in constraints)
{
String tableName = constraint.ParentName;
String constraintName = constraint.Name;
if (tableName != null && constraintName != null)
{
SqlCommand cmdConstraint = new SqlCommand("ALTER TABLE [MySchema].[" + tableName + "] DROP CONSTRAINT [" + constraintName + "]", con);
cmdConstraint.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
//con.Close();
}
}
return;
}

I went for using a custom naming convention using table name prefixing the generated constraint name.
public class MyNamingConvention : FormatNamingConvention
{
public override string GetName(INamedObject obj, IDictionary context)
{
Column column = obj as Column;
if (column != null && column.Table != null)
{
var name = context["name"] as string;
if (name != null && (name.StartsWith("DF_")))
{
return column.Table.Name + base.GetName(obj, context);
}
}
return base.GetName(obj, context);
}
}
At the same time, I also had to delete existing constraints to avoid collision:
private static void RemoveCodeFluentConstraints(string connectionString)
{
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
con.Open();
// Set up a command with the given query and associate
// this with the current connection.
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT c.name, t.name FROM sys.objects c, sys.objects t, sys.schemas s WHERE c.type IN('F', 'PK', 'FK', 'UQ', 'D') AND c.parent_object_id = t.object_id and t.SCHEMA_ID = s.schema_id AND t.type = 'U' AND s.name = 'MySchema' ORDER BY c.type", con))
{
using (IDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
using (SqlConnection con1 = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
con1.Open();
while (dr.Read())
{
String constraintName = dr[0].ToString();
String tableName = dr[1].ToString();
if (tableName != null && constraintName != null)
{
String cmdConstraintSql = "ALTER TABLE [MySchema].[" + tableName + "] DROP CONSTRAINT [" + constraintName + "]";
ActivityLog.Write("Execute " + cmdConstraintSql, ActivityLogsFile);
SqlCommand cmdConstraint = new SqlCommand(cmdConstraintSql, con1);
cmdConstraint.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
con1.Close();
}
}
}
con.Close();
}
return;
}
