Name Attribute (EntityContainer SSDL)

  • Article

The Name attribute used in store schema definition language (SSDL) specifies the name of a database in the storage metadata within the Entity Data Mode (EDM). The Name in this EntityContainer will be mapped to a corresponding EntityContainer Name in the conceptual schema definition language (CSDL) in the EDM.

The EntityContainer element is separate from the Schema element even though the entity container is defined in a schema. In the mapping file, the name of the EntityContainer is not qualified by the schema namespace name.
