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

just to give everyone the simple answer.

This is the "Update-Database" In your Migrations folder, Configuration.cs:

    internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration
{
    public Configuration()
    {
        AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
        AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = true; // Update-Data -Force (deletes columns etc)
    }

And to "Enable migrations" in the first place on a remote server, add this to your Global.asax.cs file:

        protected void Application_Start()
    {
        ....
        System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion());
