Validate that EF Core ModelSnapshot, migrations, and actual database schema are consistent with each other

Question

I am using EF Core. After \"cleverly\" merging a couple of source control branches that both introduced migrations, I\'m no longer confident that my ModelSnapshot is consistent

Answer 1

Here are tools you can use to perform some sanity checks.

• Add-Migration will show any differences between your current model and the model snapshot
• Script-Migration will produce a SQL script you can use to create a database from the migrations
• CreateDatabaseScript will produce a SQL script you can use to create a database from the model
• SQL Server Data Tools can compare two databases
• Scaffold-DbContext will create a model that is compatible with a database
