Decimal Precision Attribute Annotation?

Q1) Can i change the precision of a decimal with an annotation? Also, is there any particular reason why we're using the type decimal instead of float or double?

Q2) If i specify the Table name with an annotation without removing the pluralizing convention will EF still pluralize it?

TIA

  • great course btw.

I'm not aware of an annotation for decimal precision. But decimals are more precise than other floating point types and are particularly suited for financial values.

I don't believe it makes a difference in regard to pluralizing if the name comes from an annotation or not, but it might be worth doing a little experiment to confirm.

i checked using the table annotation and EF didn't pluralize the table name.
