Question
How to migrate DB without nuget? It is not possible to use Visual Studio with nuget in production environment. Currently, many examples only teach us to use Visual Studio with nuget. How to use the generated DbMigration classes?
Accepted Answer
The easiest way is:
Database.SetInitializer(
new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<MyDbContext,
MyDbMigrationsConfiguration>());
This will run the migrations when initializing the DbContext.
You can also force the execution manually:
var migrator = new DbMigrator(new MyMigrationsConfiguration());
migrator.Update();
(I believe you also have to set TargetDatabase on the configuration, but you can try)
Popular Answer
Here are the options:
- Use the migrate.exe command line tool that ships in our NuGet package.
- Use the MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion initializer as others have described.
- Use the runtime API available from the DbMigrator class.
