An implementation of this interface is used to initialize the underlying database when an instance of a DbContext derived class is used for the first time. This initialization can conditionally create the database and/or seed it with data. The strategy used is set using the static InitializationStrategy property of the Database class. The following implementations are provided: DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<TContext>, DropCreateDatabaseAlways<TContext>, CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<TContext>.
