Null value in column "Name" of relation "Orders" violates not-null constraint

in the code I wrote, it shows that the "Name" property is empty in the file named Order.cs. But I get the same error even though I throw the "Name" attribute to Order.cs

The error:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbUpdateException: An error occurred while saving the entity changes. See the inner exception for details.
     ---> Npgsql.PostgresException (0x80004005): 23502: null value in column "Name" of relation "Orders" violates not-null constraint

        public ICollection<Product> Products { get; set; }
        public Customer Customer { get; set; }
    }
}

Before I got this error, there was a problem with the database, so I deleted the database and migrations. Then I prevented the previous problem by creating 1 migrations again. Then, when I ran it to print a name in the database, Name = "Ahmet", I got the error that it was accepted as null.

Should I add the name string that I added to the Customer.cs file to the Order.cs file?

After some more research, the problem is caused by the name column in the table named orders in the database, but I still couldn’t find a solution.

>Solution :

If you look closely at the error you see the line:

  MessageText: null value in column "Name" of relation "Orders" violates not-null constraint

So you don’t show the data model of your database at all (this would be useful in understanding the problem), however from this error message we can see there is a relation called Orders that requires a column Name to not be null. That is the problem. Look at the relation definition in the DB to find out what table the Name column is in and that will make the problem clearer. If you want more help than this on this website please include all information about the data model (that is all the DDLs that would describe the table, indexes and constraints)
