In ASP.NET Core MVC (.NET 6) can we use DataBase first approach

Hi @john john ,

Yes, we can use EF Core database first approach in Asp.net core MVC: use the dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold(CLI) or Scaffold-DbContext(visual studio) Command to generate the DbContext and Models based on the existing database.

Personally, I prefer to use the code first approach, because I can do the database activity from the code.

But if you have already a designed database and you don’t want to do extra effort then you can go with this approach. If your database is ready, then Entity Framework will complete his duty and create POCO entities for you.
