How do you downgrade a Entity Framework 5 migration in Visual Studio 2012?

Question

I\'ve noticed that when I create a code first database migration using add-migration it generates a Down() method as well as an Up() metho

Answer 1

First get the name of the migration that was applied before the one you want to downgrade by issuing the Get-Migrations command.

PM> Get-Migrations
Retrieving migrations that have been applied to the target database.
201508242303096_Bad_Migration
201508211842590_The_Migration_applied_before_it
201508211440252_And_another

This list shows the migrations listing the most recent applied migration first. Pick the migration that occurs in the list after the one you want to downgrade, ie the one applied before the one you want to downgrade.

Update-Database –TargetMigration: ""

All migrations applied after the one specified will be down-graded in order starting with the latest migration applied first.
