Entity Framework Code-First(20):Migration

Migration in Code-First:

Entity framework Code-First had different database initialization strategies prior to EF 4.3 like CreateDatabaseIfNotExists, DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges, or DropCreateDatabaseAlways. However, there were some problems with these strategies, for example if you already have data (other than seed data) or existing Stored Procedures, triggers etc in your database, these strategies used to drop the entire database and recreate it, so you would lose the data and other DB objects.

Entity framework 4.3 has introduced a migration tool that automatically updates the database schema, when your model changes without losing any existing data or other database objects. It uses a new database initializer called MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion.

There are two kinds of Migration:

  1. Automated Migration
  2. Code based Migration

Entity Framework Code First (三)Data Annotations

Entity Framework Code First 利用一种被称为约定(Conventions)优于配置(Configuration)的编程模式允许你使用自己的 domain classes 来表示 EF 所依赖的模型去执行查询.更改追踪.以及更新功能,这意味着你的 domain classes 必须遵循 EF 所使用的约定.然而,如果你的 domain classes 不能遵循 EF 所使用的约定,此时你就需要有能力去增加一些配置使得你的 classes 能够满足 EF 所需要的信息. C

Entity Framework Code First (一)Conventions

Entity Framework 简言之就是一个ORM(Object-Relational Mapper)框架. Code First 使得你能够通过C#的类来描述一个模型,模型如何被发现/检测就是通过一些约定(Conventions).Conventions 就是一系列规则的集合,被用于对基于类别定义的概念模型的自动装配. 这些约定都被定义于 System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.Conventions 命名空间下. 当然你可以进一步地对你的模型作出配置,
