I m working on EF code fist using MVC. I would like to restrict the database for one application only in order to protect the database structure modification from the other application. Is there any way to restrict db with single application?

Solution 1

If you're asking how to restrict access to your database to only one instance of an application from a single machine there's no way I know of to do that.

In fact, there is :)
Single user mode is a real pita.

Solution 2

You can switch your database to single user mode; only one connection will then be possible at any time on this database.
But this is quite restrictive. Are you sure you will have to touch the structure of the database with your application? EF applications usually handle data rather than database structure.

When we use EF code first approach, it can alter the db structures.
