ASP.NET MVC 4, Migrations - How to run 'update-database' on a production server

Question

I can use package manager to run \'update-database -verbose\' locally.

Probably a stupid question but I can\'t find it online - once my website is deployed - how can I r

Answer 1

For us, the DBAs are the only group to have access to the production (and pre-production) environments. We simply use the Update-Database -Script package console command to get the Sql required to update the database. This gets handed off to them where they can validate it, etc.

Maybe a little too simplistic for some but it works.

HTH.
