I have a project I’m trying to deploy and I’m using a cheap host to get started. As part of the hosting package I have a SQL Server database, but I don’t have drop or create privileges, I can only use the database they’ve created for me. Being that’s the case, I want to get the DDL so I can run it manually.
I’m aware I could script the database create scripts from SQL Management Studio, and that may ultimately work fine, but I’d like to automate the process as much as possible, so if I could get the scripts that Entity Framework creates, that would be ideal.
You can generate the script using
(from the Package Manager Console)
