db-apply

Applies all outstanding changes to the database(s) based on the current configuration.

Usage

dotnet run -- db-apply

Filter to a specific database:

dotnet run -- db-apply -d MyDatabase

Behavior

This command calls ApplyAllConfiguredChangesToDatabaseAsync() on each discovered database. It compares the expected schema (defined in code) against the actual database state and applies any necessary DDL changes.

The command reports one of:

• No changes needed -- the database already matches the configuration.
• Successfully applied migrations -- changes were detected and applied.

Idempotency

db-apply is safe to run multiple times. If the database already matches the expected state, no changes are made.

Legacy Name

In Marten versions prior to V5.0, this command was called marten-apply.
