DbMigrator - verbose code-first migration

Question

When using Package Manager Console, you can run the following command:

PM> Update-Database -Verbose

The -Verbose switch will write all attempted SQL commands to the console window, which is quite useful for debugging.

You can use the DbMigrator class to do the same in code:

Configuration config = new Configuration(); //... (set up the config object) DbMigrator migrator = new DbMigrator(config); migrator.Update();

Is there something like the -Verbose switch if you use the DbMigrator class? I looked all over the documentation, but couldn't find anything.

See if this article solves your problem:

In short:

MigratorScriptingDecorator scripter = new MigratorScriptingDecorator(migrator); string script = scripter.ScriptUpdate(null, null);

This is indeed what I need. I actually used MigratorLoggingDecorator from the article. Thanks!
