It explains the transition from using 'ensure created' to implementing migrations, detailing the steps to update the database and address issues with existing tables. The tutorial also includes modifying view models and views to incorporate new fields during user registration.

Why is it recommended to use migrations instead of ensure created for larger applications?

How can you manually mark a migration as executed in the EF migrations history table?
