实体框架6：如何使用代码优先迁移和FTP部署重置数据库

Question

I deploy to a staging server that I don't have control over and have only been given FTP access. I've successfully used EF6 Code Migrations to create and seed the database on the staging server using the method described here .

I would like to basically do the equivalent of the following, but in code, when I deploy via FTP:

Update-database -TargetMigration:0

Update-database

My goal: I have new seed data to replace the existing data.

Any help is appreciated!

As usual I always figure it out moments after posting a question. (I promise I was looking for a long time before finally posting)

I did not realize you could pass a ConnectionString argument to Update-Database. So basically this was all I needed in the end:

Update-database -TargetMigration:0 -ConnectionString "MY_STAGING_CONNECTION_STRING" -ConnectionProviderName "System.Data.SqlClient"

And then on my next deploy it automatically migrated back to the latest version.
