Get SQL file for specific migration in Entity Framework 6 C#
Yes, you could generate the migration-SQL as follows:
Update-Database -Script -SourceMigration: <pointFromWichYouWantToStartWithGeneration> -TargetMigration: <pointWhereToEndWithGeneration>
To create a script for all migrations execute the following:
Update-Database -Script -SourceMigration: $InitialDatabase
Instead of applying the changes to database it will generate a SQL script file. Therefore you could generate a SQL Script even if the migration was already applied to the database.
Here you could find some more information about it - Entity Framework Code First Migrations - Getting a SQL Script.
Run the
Update-Database
command but this time specify the–Script
flag so that changes are written to a script rather than applied. We’ll also specify a source and target migration to generate the script for.
If you're now in .net core, use
Script-Migration -From <PreviousMigration> -To <LastMigration>
If you don't execute the last migration, you can run
Script-Migration -From <PreviousMigration>
Don't include the dates proceeds the migration name.
If the migration name in the database like 20210209184835_add-parent-id-to-contract
, so run the following in the package manager
Script-Migration -From add-parent-id-to-contract
If you want to generate -Script for migration N, you specify -SourceMigration N-1 (previous migration) and -TargetMigration N
