I prefer dB first.

Create an SQL project that defines the schema. It automatically compares the schema with your current dB schema and auto generates a migration script for you.

Then update entities from the dB.

Few steps involved but avoids writing and maintaing migrations yourself.

I would like to suggest code-first, at least try it once.

I don't want to go back to any sort of migrations outside of this.

Code-first does this too, but based on a schema you define in your code and not in your DB.
