Porting MVC Music Store to RavenData migration
time to read 3 min | 495 words

Here is the code required to take the data in the MVC Music Store database and turn into the appropriate Raven documents:

using (var documentStore = new DocumentStore { Url = "http://localhost:8080" })
{
    documentStore.Initialise();
    using (var session = documentStore.OpenSession())
    {
        foreach (var album in storeDB.Albums.Include("Artist").Include("Genre"))
        {
            session.Store(new
            {
                Id = "albums/" + album.AlbumId,
                album.AlbumArtUrl,
                Arist = new { album.Artist.Name, Id = "artists/" + album.Artist.ArtistId },
                Genre = new { album.Genre.Name, Id = "genres/" + album.Genre.GenreId },
                album.Price,
                album.Title,
            });
        }
        foreach (var genre in storeDB.Genres)
        {
            session.Store(new
            {
                genre.Description,
                genre.Name,
                Id = "genres/" + genre.GenreId
            });
        }
        session.SaveChanges();
    }
}

As you can see, it is pretty simple and, even if I say so myself, pretty slick.

I use anonymous types here because I am only concerned with porting the data, I don’t really care about how to deal types right now.
