Dapper.Contrib INSERT (list) needs the table name to be Plural with an "s" at the end

[alexvilper]

Hello guys!

Thanks for this project, it's helping me a lot. I found what I think to be a bug, please correct me if I am wrong.

Using the example for "Insert Many" from this link :

`using (var connection = My.ConnectionFactory()) { connection.Open();

var list = new List<InvoiceContrib>
{
    new InvoiceContrib {Kind = InvoiceKind.WebInvoice, Code = "Insert_Many_1"},
    new InvoiceContrib {Kind = InvoiceKind.WebInvoice, Code = "Insert_Many_2"},
    new InvoiceContrib {Kind = InvoiceKind.StoreInvoice, Code = "Insert_Many_3"}
};

var identity = connection.Insert(list);

}`

I noticed that, the table name in this case will need to be InvoiceContribs - otherwise an error as below will be thrown:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException HResult=0x80131904 Message=Invalid object name 'Pings'. Source=Core .Net SqlClient Data Provider StackTrace:

For instance. My POCO is called "Ping" - and my table name was "Ping" - but the error said Invalid object name 'Pings'. As soon as I renamed the table to Pings it worked.

Call Stack:

Can anyone please confirm this issue?

Thanks! Alex

Hi, I resolved the issue by adding the tablename attribute in my POCO.

This is not a bug. The README states:

Special Attributes Dapper.Contrib makes use of some optional attributes:

• [Table("Tablename")] - use another table name instead of the (by default pluralized) name of the class

[Table ("emps")]
public class Employee
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   public string Name { get; set; }
}

Meaning that if you don't specify the TableAttribute like in the example, Dapper will expect the pluralized name of the class to be the table name, e.g.: "Employees"

This issue can be closed.
