Entity Framework Core 2.1 trouble with relationships

I’m trying to convert the following sql query to entity framework but running into problems with what appears columns not joining to tables.

SELECT 
a.TABLE_NAME AS tableName,
b.COLUMN_NAME AS columnName,
b.DATA_TYPE AS dataType,
CASE WHEN b.IS_NULLABLE = 'NO' THEN 'FALSE' ELSE 'TRUE' END AS allowNull
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES a
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS b ON a.TABLE_NAME = b.TABLE_NAME

This is what i have so far

DB Context:

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

namespace EFCoreTest.Models 
{
    public class InformationContext : DbContext
    {   
        protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder) 
        {
            optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(@"Server=localhost;Database=master;Trusted_Connection=True;");
        }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            modelBuilder.Entity<Table>()
                .HasKey(t => new {t.tableName, t.catalogName, t.schemaName});

            modelBuilder.Entity<Column>()
                .HasOne(c => c.table)
                .WithMany(c => c.columns)
                .HasForeignKey(c => new {c.tableName, c.catalogName, c.schemaName});

        }

        public DbSet<Table> Tables {get; set;}
        public DbSet<Column> Columns {get; set;}
    }
}

Column Class:

using System;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;

namespace EFCoreTest.Models
{
    [Table("COLUMNS", Schema = "INFORMATION_SCHEMA")]
    public class Column
    {
        [Key]
        [Column("COLUMN_NAME")]
        public String columnName {get; set;}
        [Column("DATA_TYPE")]
        public String dataType {get; set;}
        [Column("IS_NULLABLE")]
        public String allowNUlls {get; set;}
        [ForeignKey("Table")]
        [Column("TABLE_NAME")]
        public String tableName {get; set;}
        [ForeignKey("Table")]
        [Column("TABLE_CATALOG")]
        public String catalogName {get; set;}
        [ForeignKey("Table")]
        [Column("TABLE_SCHEMA")]
        public String schemaName {get; set;}
        public Table table {get; set;}

    }
}

Table class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;

namespace EFCoreTest.Models
{
    [Table("TABLES" , Schema = "INFORMATION_SCHEMA")]
    public class Table
    {
        [Key]
        [Column("TABLE_NAME")]
        public String tableName {get; set;}
        [Key]
        [Column("TABLE_CATALOG")]
        public String catalogName {get; set;}
        [Key]
        [Column("TABLE_SCHEMA")]
        public String schemaName {get; set;}
        public ICollection<Column> columns {get; set;}

        protected Table() {columns = new List<Column>();}
    }
}

Main:

using System;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System.Linq;
using EFCoreTest.Models;

namespace EFCoreTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using(InformationContext context = new InformationContext())
            {
                var results = context.Tables.Include(t => t.columns).ToList();

                foreach(var t in results)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(t.tableName);
                    Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------");
                    var columns = t.columns.ToList();

                    foreach(var c in columns)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(c.columnName);
                    }

                    Console.WriteLine("");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Code runs fine, but when inspecting the table instances all the column instances are null. I have a feeling it has something to do with the relationship between table and column but after going over the docs for relationships for efcore2.1 i cant work out what I’m doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Update: Updated code with additional keys and related data loading.

Answer

Try this:

context.Tables.Include(t => t.columns).ToList();
