Abstract
In the last chapter we focused on how to use text templates to customize the generation of the EDM. T4 has been incorporated in many facets in EF 4.0, and this chapter will build on that. One of the things requested by EF developers was the ability to generate a database based on the EDM. In the previous version of EF you could build an EDM starting with an empty model, but you couldn’t do anything with it after that. More specifically, you could not build or create your database based on your EDM.
