'StackUpDemo': 'Server=127.0.0.1,1433 Database=StackUpDemo.EFMigrations user We are now done with base configuration necessary to trigger migrations in our projectĭotnet ef migrations add DbInitializationWithSeed Services.AddDbContext( opts => opts.UseSqlServer(Configuration))

Update the Startup file to configure entity framework with SQL Server provider and define the connection string in the appsetting.json file.

Protected override void OnModelCreating( ModelBuilder modelBuilder) Public StackUpDemoContext( DbContextOptions options) Public class StackUpDemoContext: DbContext

Once all the dependencies are installed, lets move on to create the model & dbcontext classes.

7 dotnet new tool-manifest dotnet tool install -local dotnet-ef -version 5. Net Core Api project and install the following Nuget packages to enable Entity Frameworks and its migrations capabilities in the projectĭotnet add package Microsoft.

We should now have the server connected.

Username here will be sa and password will be as specified in the docker run command.

Enter the required details and click on connect.

This open a connection model to provide the details of the server which we want to connect.

Launch the Azure Data Studio and click on add icon right next to the Servers label in the left side bar.

This will start the SQL Server on port 1433.

OR docker run -d -name sql_server_test -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=MyPass -p 1433: 1433 -name=sql microsoft/mssql-server-linux

Once we have the image downloaded we can run the container using the commandĭocker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=1' -e -e 'MSSQL_PID=Developer' -e 'MSSQL_USER=SA' -p 1433: 1433 -d -name=sql /azure-sql-edge.

For those using the M1 powered Mac, the linux version still isn't supported so we can use the Azure SQL Edge variant.

Sudo docker pull /mssql/ server: 2019-latest

If you are on an Intel based Mac, you can use the official linux image for the SQL Server and pull it using the command.

GitHub Repo for reference : /rajat-srivas/EF_Migration_Demo_V.

Azure Data Studio which is a free application to connect to the SQL Server.

Visual Studio for Mac (works for both M1 and Intel based).

Docker Desktop installed and running on the system.

This post covers the approach of how to setup SQL Server using Azure Data Studio & Docker followed by running on migrations to create our database and tables using code first approach. But the thing which I found out bit later was that Visual Studio for Mac doesn't come with a Package Manager Console. Net core based applications on my M1 MacBooks and have had a pretty smooth transitions from Windows.
