Constructors

DatabaseColumn()

Properties

Collation	The column collation, or `null` if none is set.
Comment	The column comment, or `null` if none is set.
ComputedColumnSql	Whether the value of the computed column this property is mapped to is stored in the database, or calculated when it is read.
DefaultValue	The default value for the column, or `null` if there is no default value or it could not be parsed.
DefaultValueSql	The default constraint for the column, or `null` if none.
IsNullable	Indicates whether or not this column can contain `null` values.
IsReadOnly	Indicates whether the current object is read-only. (Inherited from AnnotatableBase)
IsStored	Whether the value of the computed column this property is mapped to is stored in the database, or calculated when it is read.
Item[String]	Gets the value annotation with the given name, returning `null` if it does not exist. (Inherited from Annotatable)
Name	The column name.
StoreType	The database/store type of the column.
Table	The table that contains this column.
ValueGenerated	Indicates when values will be generated by the database for this column, or `null` if the database will not generate values.
