I have EF migrations working nicely, but I also want to generate the sql script for the seed data from my DbMigrationsConfiguration class. The seed data runs ok when I do Update-Database, but when I do UpdateDatabase -Script I do not get the sql for the seed inserts. I tried -Verbose on a normal Update-Database but I do not see the seed statements output there either. Is this possible? No it is not possible. Configuration class is not part of migration itself - it is infrastructure executing the migration. You have single configuration class for all your migrations and its Seed method is

I can type Update-Database , Enable-Migrations etc, from Package Manager Console and it works fine. If I need to do the same from a regular powershell session, or in a psake build file, then how do I do it? I tried importing the module EntityFramework.5.0.0\tools\EntityFramework.psm1 from the packages directory, and I did get the Update-Database , Enable-Migrations functions, but I cannot supply their arguments - they need a project, source, and 6 more - and there is no documentation whatsoever. Can I not automate the database deploy on some machine in our CI chain ? Keith Hill The problem

In my model I have navigation property Language: public class IntegratorDescription : BaseContract { [Key, Column(TypeName = "bigint"), DataMember] public long Id { get; set; } [DataMember, Column(TypeName = "bigint"), ForeignKey("Language")] public long LangId { get; set; } [DataMember] public string CompanyShortInfo { get; set; } [DataMember, Column(TypeName = "ntext")] public string CompanyInfo { get; set; } public virtual Models.Language Language { get; set; } } Language table already exists and it's done by another ORM, I need to say Migrations not to try to create Language table but

I'd like to amend the SQL that's being generated by EF:CF when generating the database schema (DDL), as suggested by the Entity Framework team . How can this be done? I couldn't find anything appropriate via Google. You can override the MigrationSqlGenerator that is used by Entity Framework by calling the DbMigrationsConfiguration.SetSqlGenerator() method in the constructor of your DbMigrationsConfiguration class, passing the database provider name (e.g. "System.Data.SqlClient" for SQL Server), and the MigrationSqlGenerator instance to use for that database provider. Consider the example from

We're using Entity Framework 5.0 Code First and Automatic Migrations. I had a class like so: public class TraversalZones { public int Low { get; set; } public int High { get; set; } }​ Then we realized these properties weren't really the right names, so we changed them: public class TraversalZones { public int Left { get; set; } public int Top { get; set; } }​ The rename refactored properly throughout the project, but I know Automatic Migrations aren't smart enough to pick up these explicit renames in the IDE, so I first checked to verify the only pending migration was this column rename:

I have setup a system where I have taken the model first approach as it made more logical sense for me. Now when even I have some changes in the model currently what I do is - Use the Generate database from model feature of entity framework. I create a dummy database and apply those scripts. which deletes all my data and tables first and then updates the database with the latest sql file which is generated by entity framework. Now I use the Visual Studio's schema compare feature and generate migration scripts for my local database and also for the one which is in production. I go through the

I have been trying to follow this tutorial ... http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/creating-an-entity-framework-data-model-for-an-asp-net-mvc-application but I keep getting the following error ... system.invalidoperationexception = {"Failed to set database initializer of type 'WeddingPreparations.Dal.WeddingInitializer, KevinLisaWedding' for DbContext type 'WeddingPreparations.Dal.WeddingContext' specified in the application configuration. See inner exception for details."} The inner exception is ... {"Could not load type 'WeddingPreparations.Dal.WeddingContext'

I have an ASP.NET MVC3 application, where I use Entity Framework 4.3 Code-First and Migrations. I've been trying to create a many-to-many relationship between entities of the same type, but when I scaffold the migration with Migrations, it generates a one-to-one relationship. The idea is that one user should be able to follow multiple other users (think Twitter). My User model look something like this: public class User { public int UserId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public DateTime Registered { get; set; } ... public virtual ICollection<User> Follows { get; set; } } When I
