Trouble with EF6 inserts - entity-framework-6

Question

I am in the process of Downgrading from EF7 to EF6 due to business decisions. I have looked at several examples but cannot seem to get it to work.
Here is what I have for EF 7
Context:
public class OwnerContext : DbContext
{
protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder options)
{
options.UseSqlServer(#"Server=server\testdbs;Database=test;Trusted_Connection=True;");
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<Owner>(entity =>
{
entity.ToTable("Owner");
entity.Property(e => e.Id)
.HasMaxLength(50)
.HasColumnType("varchar");
});
}
public virtual DbSet<Owner> Owner { get; set; }
}
Owner Model
public class Owner
{
public int OwnerId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
How I use it
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var context = new OwnerContext())
{
var owner = new Owner
{
Name = "First Name",
Age = 4
};
context.Owner.Add(owner);
context.SaveChanges();
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
I got this to work with no issues and I get records in the data base. For EF 6 it is a little different
Here is what I have for EF6
Context
public class OwnerContext : DbContext
{
public OwnerContext(string connectionString) : base(connectionString) { }
public OwnerContext()
: this("OwnerConn")
{
}
public virtual DbSet<Owner> Owner{ get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
var owner = modelBuilder.Entity<Owner>().ToTable("Owner");
owner.Property(e => e.OwnerId)
.HasMaxLength(50)
.HasColumnType("varchar");
owner.HasKey(u => u.OwnerId);
}
}
Model
public class Owner
{
public int OwnerId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
How I use it
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
using (var context = new OwnerContext())
{
var person = new Owner
{
Name = "Test Name",
Age = 5
};
context.Owner.Add(person);
context.Entry(person).State = EntityState.Added;
context.SaveChanges();
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
ConnectionString
<connectionStrings>
<add name="OwnerConn" connectionString="Server=server\testdbs;Database=test;Trusted_Connection=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
It seems to be very simple based on the tutorials. Hoever, I cant seem to get the changes to be reflected in the database. However, when I restart the console app and pull the records like this.
var rows = from a in context.Owner select a
It returns rows but I still don't see them in the DB. I'm out of ideas so hopefully someone can help.
