EF Core - System.InvalidOperationException : The required column 'Id' was not present in the results of a 'FromSql' operation.

Yesterday I talked about an error I got when using the FromSql method in Entity Framework Core(EF Core). It allows you to execute raw SQL queries against a relational database. Here is the example I was using yesterday:

Remark: The FromSql method was introduced in EF Core 7.0. In older versions, you should use FromSqlInterpolated instead.

However when we tried to execute the code above it failed with the following error message:

System.InvalidOperationException : The required column 'Id' was not present in the results of a 'FromSql' operation.

You typically get the  error message above when there isn’t a matching column found in the SQL result for every property in your entity type.

In our case the query was using a ‘SELECT *’ so I couldn’t be that we missed a column. To explain what was causing the issue, I first have to show our entity type and mapping class:

As you can see there is a difference between the name of one of our columns(ProductID) and the property (Id). When you are using the LINQ syntax to query your data, EF Core will correctly translate between the two. However when you try to use the FromSql method, it will not use the mapping configuration and the returned column names should perfectly match with the property names.

To fix it, I updated the query to return an Id column:

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
