The Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration namespace contains classes used by the Generate Database Wizard to generate a database from a conceptual model.

Classes

	Class	Description
	EdmConstants	Defines constants that are used by classes in the Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration, Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration.Activities, and Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration.OutputGenerators namespaces when generating a database from a conceptual model.
	EdmExtension	Provides helper methods to classes in the Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration, Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration.Activities, and Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration.OutputGenerators namespaces for generating and validating ItemCollections.
	EdmParameterBag	Provides values for the parameters that are defined in the EdmParameterBag.ParameterName enumeration.
	MetadataWorkspaceExtensions	Provides extension methods for navigating and querying item collections in the System.Data.Metadata.Edm namespace.

Interfaces

	Interface	Description
	IAssemblyLoader	Resolves workflow OutputGenerators.

Delegates

	Delegate	Description
	MetadataWorkspaceExtensions.ScalarInComplexPropertyVisitorDelegate	The delegate type that the VisitComplexProperty method uses to allow user-defined control over how scalar properties of a complex type property in the conceptual model are named in the generated storage model.

Enumerations

	Enumeration	Description
	EdmParameterBag.ParameterName	An enumeration of parameter names that are used by classes in the Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration.OutputGenerators namespace when generating a database from a conceptual model.
