When deploying an Entity Framework application, what is an essential step to ensure the database schema is up-to-date?
- Ignoring database changes
- Modifying the database directly
- Rolling back migrations if needed
- Running the 'Update-Database' command
When deploying an Entity Framework application, it is essential to run the 'Update-Database' command to ensure that the database schema matches the model defined in the code. This command applies any pending migrations to the database, making sure it is up-to-date with the latest changes. Modifying the database directly is not recommended as it bypasses the migration process, leading to inconsistencies. Rolling back migrations or ignoring database changes can result in an inconsistent database schema.
