Reverse Engineering a database with EntityFramework 6 using ASP.NET Core

Question

EntityFramework Core's Scaffold-Db is one of the worst things I have ever experience as anytime I install the package in a new project, I experience new bugs and errors.

I have decided to move backward and use EF 6 for now, but is there any way to reverse engineer an existing database using EF 6 automatically in ASP.Net Core?

your question is not clear. what did you mean here `but is there any way to reverse engineer an existing database using EF 6 automatically in ASP.Net Core` ? — Sampath, Oct 24 '16 at 08:26

Use the "EF reverse Poco" template which you can install via Tools, Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio

This is built-in now into the EF tools for VS. Entity Framework Power Tools (if that is what you mean) is supported up to VS2013 and it is still marked as beta. I wouldn't recommend this tool anymore. – Gert Arnold Oct 26 '16 at 14:41
No, I mean The EF reverse poco template – ErikEJ Oct 26 '16 at 14:42
