This happens with EF as it cannot treat a table (Table 3 in your case) with only foreign keys in it as an entity. Either you have to add a surrogate key (auto id) column in Table 3 or you have to manage the tags as being child of post or posts as being child of tags i.e. do edit and delete on Posts.tags or Tags.posts
