I am starting a new ASP.NET MVC 4 internet app and would like to use the code first with an existing database approach to generate my models. But it turns out to be a very big database, from which I just would like to pick a small subset of tables.
Is it possible yo reverse engineer just a subset of tables from an existing database?
I would do a hybrid approach and initially pull your model using data first. Then switch to code first and implement the unit of work pattern to only expose entities from the tables in which you are interested.
