Create a folder for sql scripts and put all *.sql files there. Set the build action of the sql files to EmbeddedResource. Call ExecuteScripts(context) method below from the Seed(context) method of your db initializer.
private void ExecuteScripts(DbContext context) { foreach (var script in GetScripts()) { string sql = GetFromResources(script); if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(sql)) { context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(sql); } } } private IEnumerable GetScripts() { return GetType().Assembly .GetManifestResourceNames() .Where(r => r.EndsWith(".sql")); } private string GetFromResources(string resourceName) { using (var stream = GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName)) { using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream)) { return reader.ReadToEnd(); } } }
