SQL Server DB is automatically created

[Schullz]

• Removed " (or the database file)" from the text - its's incorrect, SQLite db file is automatically created before that
• Unified DB type check
• Table existence is checked without try/catch

[Copilot]

🟡 Changes recommended

The SQL Server generator hard-codes the database name in the script (duplicating configuration) and can drift from the configured connection string, leading to broken generation in common configuration changes.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Updates the sample’s data-generation and provider-detection flow so SQL Server databases can be created automatically and table existence can be checked deterministically (without relying on exception handling), while also aligning user-facing text.

Changes:

• Adds SQL Server database creation logic to the generator script and updates the default SQL Server connection string database.
• Refactors provider detection to use a unified enum-based approach derived from EF Core’s provider name.
• Replaces try/catch-based existence checks with explicit “can connect + table exists” checks and updates UI text accordingly.

Ok, I changed the DB name. Btw, it was the ID of this example, not an ID of an unrelated ticket
