Is there a ways for EF Core to create the database but not the tables, as all I need is the database to be made, and then run fluent migrator to do the actual migrations?

Many thanks in advance

    Why use EF Core at all for this? Just run an ADO.NET query

    Do you mean an empty database, or a database with something in it (procedures? views?), just not tables? In the former case a CREATE DATABASE foo statement would be sufficient. EF probably has an appropriate place to hook that somewhere, but if not you could certainly just run that as a plain old SQL command.

    EF core works off a database and manages tables via CodeFirst or DBFirst. Dont think EF can do what you are looking to do
