Can I trigger a re-seed without a model change?

Question

My database initializer extends DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges . This is generally how I want my app setup. However, occasionally I muck things up bad enough that I would like to go ahead and trigger drop and reseed, even though my model has not changed. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Extend from DropCreateDatabaseAlways

It will always drop, re-create and seed the database.

An implementation of IDatabaseInitializer that will always recreate and optionally re-seed the database the first time that a context is used in the app domain. To seed the database, create a derived class and override the Seed method.
