Without using
DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChangesto create your database you can use SQL Migrationshttp://www.hanselman.com/blog/EntityFrameworkCodeFirstMigrationsAlphaNuGetPackageOfTheWeek10.aspx. It won’t drop the database and will generate alter commands (Incremental database development) . So you can keep your diagram and existing data.
