I’m working with an SQL Server database with about 50 tables and plenty of relationships between those tables. I have already written a backup and restore function which will retrieve all data from the model, export it to XML which it could then import again into a clean database. But maintaining this import/export is a lot of work when there are some major structural changes to the entity model. I want a more dynamic solution.
Is there a more dynamic solution to export data from an entity model and to import it back again into a clean database?
Oh, before I forget… I don’t have direct access to the database itself, not it’s connection. All I get and all I can use is this entity framework object…
I would be passing this back to your server support team. Seems a bit strange for an app developer to have to worry about data backup/restore.
