I'm doing Code First development with Entity Framework 6, using Database Migrations, and I'm using a new database that is populated with sample seed data. I'd like to be able to initialize my database with that seed data any time I change the model.
The catch is this: I don't have database create permissions; because of this, I can't just utilize DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges.
Is there a way that I can programmatically drop all of my tables, or am I stuck manually deleting them from the database each time?

Ultimately, I didn't need to delete the tables, just the data they contained.
I ended up solving this by simply truncating a list of tables at the beginning of my Seed method, based on this answer.
