It can be fixed, but I think it requires some infrastructure in our EF project that we don't currently have built out, to cast/convert the types going between EF and...

That's odd. I was able to reproduce this, and confirmed that the alter statement _is_ being generated by our EF provider, but not getting sent to the server. I added...

This library hasn't been maintained for years. I would suggest using one of the providers on this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/providers/?tabs=dotnet-core-cli

Try changing your project.json frameworks section like this: ``` "frameworks": { "uap10.0": { "imports": [ "netstandard1.3" ] } } ```

Hm, not sure then. I haven't done anything with uap. We are targeting netstandard 1.3, which https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/standard/library says should work with uap10. This is probably a better question for stackoverflow.

Neither of those are a direct dependency of this library, but they are of the underlying mysql connector, https://github.com/SapientGuardian/mysql-connector-net-netstandard. I took a quick look at their usage... System.Threading.Thread is used...

If you're really desperate and don't need SSL, you could make your own build of the connector library that doesn't have the dependency.

I don't believe reverse engineering a DB is supported by this library at this time. Giving the assembly name of SapientGuardian.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql resulted in ``` System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred....

Do you have a `ModelSnapshot.cs` file in your Migrations folder?

Can you share it, or at least the bits that are relevant to that column?
