Migrations - Existing Databases

This is the companion screencast to our Code First Migrations with an existing database documentation. The Migrations - Under the Hood screencast is a pre-requisite to this screencast.

In this Entity Framework screencast we'll explore using Code First Migrations with an existing database. We'll look at how to enable migrations for an existing database and then use migrations to propagate changes in your Code First model to the database. We'll also cover how to apply those migrations to other databases, such as your production database during deployment. You'll then see these principals in action with a demo in Visual Studio.
