EF Core failing when executing migration, containing datetime. Works great with EnsureCreated

I couldn’t find a similar issue, sorry if there is already an answer of that.

So I’m having the following problem:

I’m trying to create a database from scratch using the code first approach and EF Core migrations.

When I’m using: context.Database.EnsureCreated(); it works flawlessly and my database gets created.

The problem is when I try with context.Database.Migrate(); Then I hit an error:

Npgsql.PostgresException: ‘42704: type “datetime” does not exist’

I have some DateTime (C# properties) columns in my entities, but this should not be a problem.

So I’m wondering - why would it work with the first approach, and not with the second one, and is there a solution for this problem?

All kind of help, or guidance appreciated! Thanks!

PS: When I use EnsureCreated() the columns in PostgreSQL db are timestamps (properly translated).

PSS: Here is a SO issue for that.

@Babalev Great to hear! I’ll go ahead and close this issue.

Sure. I’ll wrap up some very minimalist console
