Update-Database MVC automatic migrations - There is already an object named 'StationsArrangeds' in the database

Question

Update-Database command was giving this error:

There is already an object named 'StationsArrangeds' in the database.

So I deleted this table and now I'm getting this exception while trying to update database.

Using StartUp project 'MetroTrain'. Using NuGet project 'MetroTrain'. Specify the '-Verbose' flag to view the SQL statements being applied to the target database.

System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityCommandExecutionException: An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'dbo.StationsArranged'.

I've gone through forums no solution found.

Answer 1

Manually deleting tables in code first causes EF to lose track of your model changes.

You can reset code first migrations by deleting migration history table and re-enable migration.

Answer 2

This is mostly because your database Migration table ("__MigrationHistory") is not sync with your Migration you can change your Database Name in default connection string and create new database. after create new database compare it with existing Database menualy and sync "__MigrationHistory" from new database to existing for later Migrate
