How to create index in Entity Framework 6.2 with code first

Question

Is there a way to create an index on a property/column using code-first, instead of using the new IndexAttribute ?

Answer 1

If you don't want to use attributes on your POCO's, then you can always do it like the following:

context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("CREATE INDEX IX_NAME ON ..."); 

You can execute this statement in your custom DbInitializer derived class. I don't know any Fluent API way of doing this though.
