The Entity Framework Core tools help with design-time development tasks. They're primarily used to manage Migrations and to scaffold a DbContext and entity types by reverse engineering the schema of a database. Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools is for PowerShell tooling that works in the Visual Studio Package Manager Console.

Getting started

The Package Manager Console (PMC) tools for Entity Framework Core perform design-time development tasks. For example, they create migrations, apply migrations, and generate code for a model based on an existing database. The commands run inside of Visual Studio using the Package Manager Console. These tools work with both .NET Framework and .NET Core projects.

Prerequisites

Before using the tools:

Usage

PMC Command Usage
Get-Help entityframework Displays information about entity framework commands.
Add-Migration Creates a migration by adding a migration snapshot.
Bundle-Migration Creates an executable to update the database.
Get-DbContext Gets information about a DbContext type.
Drop-Database Drops the database.
Get-Migration Lists available migrations.
Optimize-DbContext Generates a compiled version of the model used by the DbContext.
Remove-Migration Removes the last migration snapshot.
Scaffold-DbContext Generates a DbContext and entity type classes for a specified database. This is called reverse engineering.
Script-DbContext Generates a SQL script from the DbContext. Bypasses any migrations.
Script-Migration Generates a SQL script using all the migration snapshots.
Update-Database Updates the database schema based on the last migration snapshot.
