Proposal for Enhancement of EF Core Plugin for JetBrains Rider #210

Dear JetBrains Rider Team, I am a frequent user of JetBrains Rider and very much appreciate the features and benefits that your IDE offers, especially when it comes to .NET Core and EF Core projects. After many hours of development and code writing in your environment, an idea for an enhancement to your current EF Core plugin arose. As part of my daily work routine, I often find the need to update the EF Core migrations in databases I work with. Currently, I have to do this manually which sometimes becomes time-consuming. To streamline this process and increase efficiency, I would like to propose a new feature for the EF Core plugin. I envision this feature as part of the context menu when a developer right-clicks on a migration file. Imagine a new option called "Update to this Migration", which would allow the developer to directly update the underlying database to reflect changes up to the selected migration. In addition to updating the database, this feature could also cater to reverting migrations, enhancing the potential uses. This would essentially automate the process of updating or reverting to a particular migration, saving developers significant time and effort, eliminating manual errors, and ultimately improving productivity. I firmly believe that many others in our community would greatly benefit from this addition. In conclusion, I kindly request your consideration of this proposal to enhance the EF Core plugin for JetBrains Rider. I am confident that this upgrade, if implemented, would lead to an even better coding experience for millions of developers worldwide. I am open to further discussions and providing more specific details if necessary. Thank you for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to your positive response.

Best Regards
