The answer to your question is, yes definitely it can have several **contexts** for a primary database. It can be beneficial while the database contains the multiple database schemas and you wanna deal with each of them as a discrete independent zone.

The issue arises when you need to utilize your code first for creating a database that can be done with single context as well. The trick that can be in use is introducing an additional context equipped with all your entities which is been used for the creation of the database. Your genuine application context containing just subsets of your elements must have database initializer set to **NULL**.

## *Hope this would have been a help to you!*

## Cheers!
