MVC5 There is already an object named 'AspNetUsers' in the database

Question

I'm trying to clone a MVC5 with Identity Roles and Authorize from this tutorial and the project is here .

I'm trying to use update-database in my Package Manager Console but it keeps saying I have

There is already an object named 'AspNetUsers' in the database.

But if you look in the image I don't have a database that has those tables.

WebConfig connectionstring

<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=15;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=False;ApplicationIntent=ReadWrite;MultiSubnetFailover=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Answer 1

You DO have a database with an AspNetUsers table in your SQL Express database. The screenshot you are showing is for a different instance of SQL Server than where your connection string is accessing.

• Screenshot: (localdb)\\MSSqlLocalDb
• Connection string: .\\SQLExpress (which is the equivalent of (local)\\SQLExpress )

Also, as LoLeRji pointed out, you haven't specified a database name in your connection string. Therefore, your tables will be created in the default database on the server instance (usually the master database).

You should always make sure your connection string follows one of the 2 patterns before adding the advanced options (if any).

• SERVER=<servername\\instancename>;DATABASE=<databasename>;UID=<username>;PWD=<password>;
• SERVER=<servername\\instancename>;DATABASE=<databasename>;Integrated Security=true;

See: connectionstrings.com

Answer 2

I am not so sure this would be of any help, but when I read your connection string, I couldn't see which database you were trying to connect to. The connection string only states ./SQLEXPRESS as data source, but no database names are given.

For example, as far as I know the connection strings should look like either "data source=<dbserver>;initial catalog=<databasename>;..." or "data source=<path>\\<dbname>;..." .

I think the problem is you are trying to update a database but entity framework doesn't know which db to update.

I hope this helps.
