get my original database table's name

How do I get my original database table's name and  primary key's name?

Hi xu,

if your question targets the meta data of your database, then this could easily be done with the Metadata-API. Just open a connection and use the Metedata property of the Database object:
var meta = ObjectScopeProvider1.Database().Metedata;

The there are properties for tables etc.

Hello xu,

What Daniel suggested is the correct approach. You can easily perform linq queries against our Metadata container that will retrieve the information you require. For example if you would like to find the original table name for the class Customer this is what you need to do:

NorthwindOAEntityDiagrams db = new NorthwindOAEntityDiagrams();
            MetadataContainer container = db.Metadata;
            string tableName = container.PersistentTypes.Where(c => c.Name.Equals("Customer")).Select(c => c.Table.Name).First();
