Probably a stupid question, but I'm asking because I have only used an existing database which I can open with SQL Server Manager and never tried entity in-memory database. This is all new to me! I'm also interested in the benefits of using an in-memory database generated by entity framework and building my own database the traditional way.

Is it possible to generate a database code-first with entity framework and then export it as an SQL server database? My knowledge on this is terrible and any guides or resources would be brilliant.

EDIT: My terminology might also be wrong.
