Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.1 (2017-02-22, Beta)
Known limitations of this release:
* The output classes cannot exist prior to using the EF Core database first feature.
* The target database must have a table with a primary key.
* The target database cannot contain one or more views.
* The JSON data exchange format is not supported by the EF Core database first feature.
* No error message is provided when a table given as input does not exist in the database and a model context is created without any table by the EF Core database first feature.
* The EF Core database first feature does not support the following data types:
+ BINARY
+ VARBINARY
+ MEDIUMBLOB
+ LONGBLOB
+ SET
+ DATE
+ TIME
+ YEAR
* DbContext within an application can emit an unhandled exception. Due to this limitation, MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.9 is the preferred version to use with EF6.
Functionality Added or Changed
* Added database first support, also known as Scaffold-DbContext, which enables the creation of corresponding model classes from an existing database that are compatible with Entity Framework (EF) Core 1.1.

* EF Core: Using the Skip and Take methods in an assignment generated an exception. (Bug #25382036, Bug #84453)
