Database Reference
In-Depth Information
Entity Framework snippets
We have ventured into creating models in MVC and EF from an existing database. There
will be many cases where the database is not created. We listed previous examples and de-
scribed in previous chapters how to manually create a database, but many ESB developers
don't use SQL Server Management Studio, or SQL scripts, very often. We will get into
some details on how to create tables from either EF code or models. There will be no SQL
discussed here as we use objects to build tables and populate them. EF plays a major role in
reading and writing to the SQL Server database. Since NSB will likely be deployed on a
Windows Server machine to handle the enterprise objects, it is natural that SQL Server will
be used as well for many of the Microsoft components.
