Question

I want to add a module build on Code First to a running website, which already has an database. If I set my module to run on separated database, it works fine.

But my friend want to just “add” tables created by my modules to existing database, without adding a new database.

Is there anyway to archive that?

Answer 1

The solution is simple and very easy:

• Run the module to create a new, clean database
• Use SQL Server to generate sql scripts that create tables of that database. I personally think the metadata table is not needed
• Run those scripts against target database
• Modify the connection string to point to target database

Now it runs flawless! I’m so happy

Thank you.
