\--

* 1.After we add a new class and add-migration and update-database, we got a empty table, now we use migration to insert value to table, Type:

  ```
    `add-migration populateMembershipTypes`
  ```
* 2.Modify the file generated in \~/Migrations, type some SQL statements:

```
        namespace Vidly2.Migrations
        {
            using System;
            using System.Data.Entity.Migrations;

            public partial class populateMemnershipTypes : DbMigration
            {
                public override void Up()
                {
                    Sql("INSERT INTO MembershipTypes (Id, SignUpFee, DurationInMonth, DiscountRate) VALUES (1, 0, 0, 0)");
                    Sql("INSERT INTO MembershipTypes (Id, SignUpFee, DurationInMonth, DiscountRate) VALUES (2, 30, 1, 10)");
                    Sql("INSERT INTO MembershipTypes (Id, SignUpFee, DurationInMonth, DiscountRate) VALUES (3, 90, 3, 15)");
                    Sql("INSERT INTO MembershipTypes (Id, SignUpFee, DurationInMonth, DiscountRate) VALUES (4, 300, 12, 20)");
                }

                public override void Down()
                {
                }
            }
