如何从实体框架dbcontext中制作SQL脚本文件

Question

is is possible to generate sql script from dbcontext of entity framework to create the whole database or at least tables with previously created database via ssms .

So when my dbcontext and models are done, can i make sql script witch will be able to recreate the whole db (it can be empty, it doesn't matter).

Now, i know that migrations do that but the problem is that i have many migrations so the code for sql is scattered all over the place.

So, is it possible to make that sql script when I am finished modeling db from code first approach?

Answer 1

To do this run the Update-Database command in the Package Manager Console but this time specify the –Script flag so that changes are written to a script rather than applied. [source]

update-database -script

Answer 2

I would let EF create DB and than using SSMS you can generate scripts even with data. Right click db in SSMS > Tasks > Generate Scripts and then in dialog window where they want you to select file for saving SQL script choose Advanced . There you can select what you want to generate.
