Entity Framework 6 with DbUp

Question

Is there a way to use Entity Framework 6 with DbUp without having 2 connection strings?

The problem is EF uses a conn string with a bunch of meta data for locating the model that DbUp doesn't like - it expects a simple conn string.

And EF doesn't run without all the meta data.

I could have 2 different connection strings but that seems just wrong.

If you modify the approach in the duplicate by using the connection string from your config file you have achieved what you want. — Gert Arnold, Nov 15 '15 at 19:20

You can use Code Based Modelling (Code "First") - that only uses the standard ADO.NET connection string
