EF Fluent API - Can I represent these tables?

45 views Asked by At

Preface: I have no control over the database schema. In this question I've renamed the fields/tables to make it easier to understand. I've included the [Key] and [ForeignKey()] annotation in my example, but I'm really trying to define it in fluent api.

public partial class Person
{
    [Key]
    public int p_id{ get; set; }
    [Key]
    public int p_id2{ get; set; }

    public int? p_document_id { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("p_document_id")
    public virtual ICollection<Document> Documents { get; set; }
}

public partial class Document
{
    [Key]
    public int d_id { get; set; }
    [Key]
    public int d_id2 { get; set; }

    //implied?
    //public virtual Person Person {get; set;}
}

A person may have 0 or many Documents. A document must belong to one person. Each table has a composite key.

Here's an example of what the database could look like:

p_id     p_id2   p_document_id
1        a       NULL
1        b       NULL
2        a       555
2        b       666

d_id     d_id2   
555      x
555      y
666      x

In this example person 1 has no documents, but person 2 has 3 documents. Person.p_document_id = Document.d_id , d_id2 is only there to provide a composite unique id.

Is there anyway to set up this relationship in fluent api with what I've got to work with, I'm unable to add any new columns.
