Currently I use Visual Studio Database Project, so I can deploy changes to database

  • 0

Currently I use Visual Studio Database Project, so I can deploy changes to database with one click and keep data in database.

Now I want to be able to create model in Entity Framework and deploy with one click.

So I got sql script to create database from Entity Framework. I can run this script to create database, but I want to keep my data in database.

Is there any way to do that ? Any tool that will do that ? Should I generate it on my own with T4 ?

I use CI so I need to be able to deploy often. I want something similar to Visual Studio Database Project deployment, but with Entity Framework generated database.

    To be able to generate Visual Studio Database Project from Entity Framework Model You need to install Entity Designer Database Generation Power Pack.

    You need to add Database Project to Your solution and then create edmx model with the same name. Then right click on edmx workspace and select Generate Database from Model and from generation menu Sync Database Project.

    You can then deploy this Sql project from Visual Studio to Sql Server.
